Compared to Squirrelmail, Microsoft has released a really crippled
webmail interface that almost _forces_ the user to go back to outlook
desktop client. It is so slow, clunky, and lacking in usability
everyone I've walked through the use of just hates it. I had a few
people that had fetchmail setup to pull out their exchange email and
make it available in Squirrelmail because the interface worked so much
better.
