Hi Jim,

Do you mean desktop Outlook or Outlook.com?  I was just about to set up and
Outlook.com account for my W8 phone so that I could synchronize with Outlook
on my PC.

But what does 'too small' mean?

Thanks!
Dan

Hi Peter:

I have been running Thunderbird for a while and it just works. 

Most of my mail now goes through GMail and my local ISP's Zimbra (I really
like Zimbra...a lot better internet email service than GMail in my opinion).
I actually like Outlook but the product is too small for today's volumes of
mail messages...two to four GBs just doesn't cut it (and it is too easy to
hack) and I am not going to install an Exchange server just to support it.

Corporate BS meant to persuade us old is terrible, expensive new is
necessary.
