How to Totally Replace Outlook (in Windows) »
For a very long time I was a faithful Outlook user. Well, that's not true. I wasn't really loyal to Outlook specifically or Microsoft generally. I just used Outlook at work and so I used Outlook at home. It was what I knew and I was used to it. So I stuck with it. But then I decided that it was time to really make the switch to IMAP and Outlook really bites at IMAP.
You know it does. If you try and use IMAP with Outlook you'll get a message that says something like Your IMAP server has closed the connection. This may occur if you have left the connection idle for too long. Sure, you can change the timeout error, but it doesn't matter what you set the value to, you still get the error. So that was a no-go. It was time to look elsewhere.
