You're welcome.

Well, if you can avoid getting infected with stuff, and get people to
reconfigure it for standard mail formats, it's not terrible.  The
calendar capabilities are good for scheduling meetings...but can be
abused at times.  The main problem most places see is with Exchange (the
server end of MS mail).  Exchange tends to be flaky like a
biscuit...goes down or hangs at random, fails to send mail for hours at
a time, and often has very low limits on how much mail you can save
(though for the most part that's a site-specific setting, it does have a
hard limit of about 2 gigs per account).  This is mostly a problem for
people using IMAP or the webmail options, and doesn't affect POP users.

If it really gets bad, just get a copy of Thunderbird... ;-)
