[PV] Interesting place. The .nu top level domain belongs to your country,
right?

[PV] I've tried all those and many more. I use Outlook because I need its
PIM capabilities. None of the above has them. I guess I would use Evolution
if I where using Linux. (Or maybe Kmail/Korganizer.) I don't think Microsoft
makes it all bad, by the way. I find Outlook a great piece of software. My
complain about IE has been clearly stated as an obstacle to move to Linux,
it was not a complain about IE itself (that could be another whole thread,
but I don't think it belongs here).

[PV] Well, it might be that important or it might not. You'll never know. Do
you get my point? (I already said what you've missed: left side menu has
submenus that take you to places not accesible otherwise. You won't see
those submenus without IE. Someone here has reported how this is done and
why you won't see it outside IE.)
