Which eMail App Do You Recommend?

Questions & Suggestions

I have used MS Outlook for decades, and now Outlook 2011 on the Mac. I think it is great and I don't have any issues or cons with it.

You can google MS Outlook for details, but here are my thoughts:
(note this is for Outlook 2011. Current version is Outlook 2016, which may be different)

  1. It is really much more than an email client. It is like a mini-project management tool, offering:
    • EMail
    • Calendar
    • Contacts
    • Tasks
    • Reminders
    • all of which are very tightly integrated
  2. I am able to effectively manage my daily deludge of email by using OL features:
    • Contact Categories that have a color, and are automatically applied to inbound email
    • Smart Folders which allow me to use simple or complex logic to select email, contacts, calendar items
    • Rules that both process the email on the Exchange Server and on my Mac, and can also use AppleScripts
    • The ability to handle multiple email accounts, including multiple Exchange Server accounts
  3. OL is very scriptable -- much more so than Apple Mail or GMail
  4. It is very fast while also storing large (GBs) worth of data
  5. It has been easy to automate using KM (with and without AppleScript)
  6. and much more
