Having read all this and thinking about it (as a non-native english
speaking)
i would suggest to you to stay with outlook an solve your problem with the
SMTP.
You can compare TB with OExpress, but not with Outlook. Although there
are thousands of AddOns for TB to extend its functions, it will never(?)
have the "integrity" and functions of outlook; esp. working with
exchange-servers
and unified messaging. [correct me if i'm wrong!]
TB is a *very* good Freeware-Mail&News-Client (IMO way better than OE)
but *not* a PIM like Outlook. [not *yet* ! ;-) ]
