I quit it because it is too time consuming to set mail filters up, especially if you have several email accounts. Plus, I prefer to place outgoing messages in the OUTbox, until I click send/receive...TBird makes it harder.

There is Thunderbird http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/ which does most if not everything Outlook can do. Plus if you install the Calendar http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/ then you are quite equal with Outlook. It has excellent spam filters and great security features and is free, while Outlook is not. It is very stable, I've never had a crash or lost folders/files during compacts either.
