Outlook makes the Mail.app look lame

Sad that anyone feels they have to poison their Mac with some MS crap.....

2002 called, it wants its M$ Platform War back.

Exchange is great if you want to be locked into the Microsoft system.

Not true. Google's G Apps, Amazon Work Mail, and even Zimbra support the Exchange Web Services/Exchange ActiveSync client protocol.

Exchange is the de-facto standard business PIM client protocol. This shift happened maybe 10 years ago when Microsoft was forced to license these protocols and people on mobile demanded an all-in-one push sync protocol.

If you were to implement this separately, you'd have a huge mess of protocols: IMAP, SMTP, iCal/CalDAV, vCard/SyncML, LDAP. I don't think there's even an open standard to handle tasks.

Does Mail on the Mac still muck up CSV files? I did some tests a couple years ago with it and every time I sent a CSV file it would add a space between every line - only with Exchange accounts. I reported it to Apple for about 6 months and then gave up on Mail for good. An app should've be mucking up my attachments. Unacceptable. Straight up.

That statement would make sense if Numbers wasn't terrible.
