I use several e-mail solutions for a variety of reasons including mobility and business archiving. I find MS O/L far better than MS-OLE. I had too many problems with the slimmed down OLE and long ago dumped it. MS O/L has the advantage of an integrated office product but Yahoo & AOL now have many of the same fetaures.
Thanks to the TV Computer club they have a nice presentation of the pro's & cons and basics of how the POP servers and Yahoo/Hotmail/AOL servers receive, send and store e-mail.
