Proposing an OS to someone who is looking for an e-mail client
is not very helpful, IMO.

Outlook is very handy, as the original writer noted, as it
combines calendar, contacts, etc,. However it does present
security problems, and it does not handle PGP/MIME. My
suggestion is to install Mozilla (or Netscape) with the Enigmail
plugin, then drag the mailer shortcut icon to the Outlook
shortcut bar. That way you can use a safer mail client from
within your Outlook environment.
