I *hate* Outlook Express and its lack of scripting. Once in a few months
I get bitten by the "I need to change my e-mail client NOW" bug and waste
half a day in downloading weird clients. At the end of the day, I stick
to Outlook Express.

Either they can't handle gracefully a folder with 
20 000 messages (my [algo] archive) - e.g. The Bat, or 
can't import seamlessly my Outlook Express folders - e.g. PocoMail,
or take up 35 MB of memory and boot in something like 20 seconds -
e.g. Mozilla.

Last time I tried Outlook [non-Express], it took on the order of 20 minutes
to import my Outlook Express folders. Later it turned out that it had
uploaded them, all 400 MB, to IMAP folders on our Exchange server!

This neverending joy of alternate mail clients makes me stick to Outlook
Express as the least evil. I guess some of the OE users (victims) share
my reasons for this.
