@Alan Bourke - Re: If there was an alternative to Outlook
And it will never be. Ever! Outlook and Word are the essence of Microsoft monopoly, you may replace enything you want in the enterprise but you can't and you won't touch the two little monsters. One you have one of the two deployed in the organisation it's game over, there's no wat back.
Microsoft knows very well there's zero competition in this field and this is why they don't bother spending time and manpower to make it better.
