Well I like Outlook myself. I've had only minimal issues ever with it.
I've used it on my personal system for ten or more years, since Office
95 I think. Outlook 95 had some significant issues though and so there
was an Outlook 98 I think it was even though there wasn't any other
Office app with that moniker. I think it was even a free upgrade to
the 95 customers as I recall. I upgraded to XP (2002) and later to
2003 and now to 2007 at home. Never had a lick of problems with
anything since that 95 version as I recall. Here at work we used 1997
version when I started here in 1999 and then updated to 2K not long
after and I stayed on that for until around 2006 when I switched
systems and got office 2003 on that which I remain on. Again,never had
any trouble at all here at work with Outlook. We use Exchange though
so it's a little different animal.

Outlook does use a lot of client resources though. So I understand
that some people might have some problems with it in that regard.
