There are many non-MicroThief browsers to choose from so that one is easily accomplished. However, there aren't many (if any) non-MicroThief email programs that can do what Outlook does. I know people throw out Mozilla Thunderbird but even that can't do everything that Outlook does, unless I'm missing something.
Is there there any email clients out there that are worth a hoot and that can do what Outlook does.
I've had good luck with eM Client.
Mostly it just works, but as far as ease of use of the Contacts, it doesn't cause me a percent the grief/hairpulling that OOOtLook does.
