Outlook is best email client. Even 2003. The only missing thing is inability to do imap-search request directly to imap server.
I won't say Outlook is the worst email client I've ever seen, but we all know that 'best' and 'Outlook' can only be in one sentence if it is accompanied by 'alternative to'...
Alternatives were: Thunderbird, Evolution, TheBat. Should I try something else? I want to write HTML messages easy (use fonts, colors, numbered lists), embed screenshot images in emails by simple Print screen - copy buttons, integrate email meeting requests with calendar.
If you are on Windows, have MSOffice, don't need to administer lots of computers, and email in only one US-ASCII or ISO-LATIN1 supported language, then you might want to consider using Outlook. I've seen too many of my clients ordering me to install Outlook and then running in all kinds of trouble. Even as far as some changing to Squirrelmail because that at least enabled them to communicate with their colleagues in Russia etc. So Outlook is an answer only if you're prepared to face the consequences.
Squirrel mail, are you serious? Did you try horde/IMP? Outlook2003 indeed had problems with KOI-8/Win1251, but it was long-long time ago. I communicate in Russian a lot - no problems in last 3 years, not even one.
