Do NOT use Outlook. Its a horrible, buggy piece of trash. What else could we expect from Microsoft?
I *highly* recommend Eudora as an email program. Eudora light is free and its a great alternative. Plus, it lacks all those nasty security holes that Outlook has - like the ones that automatically launch VB scripts (like the Melissa virus).
For those of you who are on campus networks, go into the sharing properties of your computer and make sure that no one has access to write to your hard drive. If someone on your network has a worm, it can put files on your computer to infect you. When I was on LSU's network, someone had a worm that would put different files with a .eml extension on my drive. Outlook would have opened those as an email and then I would have been infected too.
Outlook Bad!
