There's also a handy little search box, and you can insert smilies into your mail too. I think I like it |

Best hope it doesn't start going wrong then or it could turn into the first 18 rated one  |

I love it, you can set it to put all your sent items from different addresses in different folders, something you just can't do in Outlook.
DOWNLOAD IT NOW  |

Does it also come with those features that let viruses take over your PC?
I've used Turnpike for years and it's been fine for me, a tad old though. |

Just to double check it is Outlook you have dumped and not Outlook express?

Important point this, I use Outlook at home and it is a lot better than express.

I've found evolution to be pretty good, both at work and home. It's linux only.

I was not think in terms of what to get if starting afresh, but simply in terms of the incentive to change.

Yes, Outlook is indeed a much more fully featured programme than Outlook express and Thunderbird. How come you don't use a Linux client for your mail? |

We have Outlook at work but it is rubbish for filtering (as far as I can make it work), and I wouldn't want to have it at home because I'd (a) have to pay a fair bit  and (b) don't have the same virus and spam protection at home as at work so anything that's a bit less common is surely better. I don't like Turnpike but admit I've not used it much. |
