Enough with this deragatory name calling. Microsoft created a superior product with Outlook and Exchange. Nobody has come close with an alternative or an opensource variant. Calling something superior [by inference] and than slamming it with a derogatory name like Outhouse just makes you looks like a name calling, finger pointing school child. Sorry for the flame, but I am sick of everyone slamming Microsoft just to slam them [as the thing to do]. Microsoft does make good products. If you have a problem with something about Microsoft, fine, but in this case, you obviously want Outlook/Exchange functionality and only Microsoft has been able to offer what you want so far. So relax and write some code.
