It was thus said that the Great Tony Duell once stated:
I prefer my tools (whether physical or computer) to do one job and do it
well. I do not want a combined screwdriver and pliers [1], I do not want
my mail program to do anything other than send/receive mail (and to
import/export said mail in a format that other programs can use if
necessary).
[1] Yes, OK, I have a Leatherman tool. But I don;'t use it when I am at
my bench and have other tools avaialble.,
And pewrhaps I shouldn't say this, but the only time I want to manage is
measured in nanoseconds (or picoseconds) and relates to gate delays and
the like :-)

I fail to see why. In the case of Outlook, surely any e-mail prgram can
send/receive mail that is compatible with it. Does it matter what I
choose to use? It's about as sensible as saying I _must_ use a tektronix
'scope.
To be fair, there is *one* feature of Lookout that not many other e-mail
programs support---that is, the ability of managers to schedule your time in
meetings and update your calendar automatically.
