Yeah. We're on the same page and this is why I wrote in my message:

"The problem is really the choice of server software and if it's
Exchange then Outlook beats other solutions in terms of optimization
for use with Exchange."

IOW's if Exchange is the server, the Outlook is the 'hand fitting in
glove' solution for it.

About the only thing you could duplicate is the use of public folders.

You can associate TB! address books with LDAP servers.

That leaves only the calendar stuff.

The problem is really the choice of server software and if it's
Exchange then Outlook beats other solutions in terms of optimization
for use with Exchange.

Hello Jurgen Haug,

I myself find it very hard to describe the advantages of TB over any other
mail client - because many of the most powerful features aren't exactly
available "at the surface" of the program but are in depths one must be
willing to explore.

The mailer part surely isn't one of Outlook's strengths :) and I see little
sense in using Outlook at home (or generally in any environment without MS
Exchange putting the things together), but in an MS Exchange environment, I
see little chance of replacing it as a client. In our company we make
massive use of public folders, contacts, group calendars and whatnot -
thats not the strength of TB.
