Well, Outlook Express seems to behave pretty well in any circumstance
(I've never had a problem with it). Messenger works alright as long as
you don't make any changes to the Maildir it doesn't know about (seems as
though it saves a "popstate" file which isn't very intuitive).
Probably your best solution is to simply provide your customers with the
web-based MUA. I've heard alot of people ranting about SquirrelMail
lately. Check it out at http://www.squirrelmail.org/ . This gives you
A.) access the source code which you can directly customize to any quirks
your systems might express; B.) access to an entire community of
developers devoted to making their creation better; and, C.) PHP4 which is
executed server-side and thus very stable.
