"Tries hard but fails"
Pros: Sensible security additions (about time)
Cons: Unreliable, intolerably slow, poor IMAP function
Summary: As per most things MS seems to come out with, they have taken onboard ideas that people with any brain had years ago and finally implemented them.
There are a few additions to Outlook 2003 that are steps forward, and I can't think of any better solution to use for now, but it still has that usual MS feel - poor implementation of IMAP, irrationally slow searches, unpredicatable connection failures, and working with another MS trashpile - activesync!
As I suggest, I probably should be praising the software as the only offering available with the features I need at all, but should it really be such an ogre to get on with? I am currently splitting up my emails into pst files of 1,000 or the whole thing gets intolerably slow, logging onto my IMAP webmail to properly delete emails every couple of weeks for the same reason, and carting an external drive with my entire pst file collection in a briefcase to work every day to sync my information between two computers that are permanently connected via a VPN. None of this would be rocket science to implement in a far more convenient manner.

Outlook 2003 suffers from the same problem that the other Outlooks have suffered from. They are slowwwwwwwww. I am running an AMD athlon 2200 with half GIG RAM with WinXP Pro SP2 and this thing is slowwww. Good app but very sluggish.
