The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

Well, that's really a mater of opinion ... IMO, Outlook is only a
marginal mail client with any back end. It's message management
functions are rudimentary at best. I really hate the way it handles
quoting (or, I should say, doesn't handle quoting).
And it's sooooooo Microsoft. For example, one of the first things I have
learned to hate is TNEF. TNEF is the format used for that lovely
winmail.dat file include with every Outlook email. Nobody outside of
Microsoft supports it, yet Outlook wraps everything in it.
Luckily, there's a plug-in for it, but still.
By the way, converting from PST to IMAP is relatively easy, but it's
strange, because MS insists on building a local PST file containing all the
message you copy to the IMAP server. That gets ugly when the PST file fills
up, which on Outlook pre-2003 is at 2GB.
