hehe - Thanks for reading! I have mixed feelings about Outlook Data Files (.ost or .pst). These are great when they work, but, I think they show their age for large modern mailboxes. As for Imap, I don't really know what to say above what I wrote in that article - It is clear that Outlook is built for Exchange... That being said, I have one client (and myself) that runs IMAP from a Hmailserver box and have never had a problem. Going over slow links/VPN when abroad has given me a lot of problems with Outlook, which I do not see whilst using a mobile device (I<device> or Android) when set to only download the last 50 messages - so, again, I agree that Outlook's handling could be a lot better. But... On top of that, Gmail has just given me so many problems weather using Oulook, Thunderbird or a few other mail clients. If you only use Gmail through their website, it works great - but, I personally think that the way they use labels instead of folders along with a few other things (deletion etc.) made a mess when they tried to implement the IMAP protocol.
