Outlook is Microsoft’s (in)famous e-mail client, which is closely coupled to Exchange. Despite several promises, its Mac OS X counterpart, Entourage, isn’t half as functional.
Outlook 11 (or 2003) was one of the first e-mail clients to sport search folders (a feature soon replicated across the board).
