I totally agree. The cost for Outlook is heaps do you think we what to flush $200(or however much it is in your country) down the drain???
And note to the ones that say "just switch to another client" well have you ever worked in a Corporate Enviroment, Companies have their systems locked down so hard. And just cos someone is a Software Dev doesn't mean they get any special privs just some extra software to play around with. For the Fact Outlook is the Most Used Client in Corporate Enviroments Outlook is one of the only MS Exchange Supporting Clients for Windows Over 60% of Personal Computers are running windows Now lets just say we were to all remove windows and use linux imagine all the Money that has just going down the drain that we spent on MS Office,Games,Windows Also there is also the convenience factor of using Reply-To, why can't I just reply to emails the way I do for my private emails?
