Obviously there's some significant benefits to Outlook from an IT administration side (or it turns into a completely different beast when used with Exchange instead of IMAP) because as far as I can tell, it's otherwise awful on any number of axes.

Outlook is a good email client only when used against Exchange. It should never be used as a stand alone client because while it CAN work as a POP3 and IMAP client, its terrible at it.

Its not even a good email client when used against Exchange but its 'good enough'
