my $0.02,

I use outlook here as i think its a decent product, have for a few years.
Now over time my pst (microsoft bleh format mailbin) has grown to about
700mb and Im currently spooling on a work day around 700-1200 mails a day.
Yea it takes about 5-10 minutes to get off the (FreeBSD ;) server but hey it
works, the filtering works, after some config (read fighting) it'll do most
*nix mta functions.

I like it, for mail it seems reliable and I dont see the point in using
FreeBSD on my desktop yet as there are certain thing *nix just doesnt do
very well, talking open source only here.

i.e. music, any os apps that can match cubase ? nope didnt think so.  This
is definetly one of those horses for courses arguments and its down the
individual, windows on me desktop, bsd on the servers works fine here.

Si.
