Just that, it isn't an email client. As you said, it is a PIM. It does a
lot of things, all of them poorly.

That is why it can't keep separate accounts separate, doesn't let people
chose the font they want (Everything *MUST* be proportional!), breaks
standards left and right?
Uhm, no, "slick" is not how I'd term Lookout! The *ONLY* thing it does
right is IMAP. Too bad everything else it does wrong makes it unusable.

For 'meat and potatoes' E-Mail processing, Lookout! fails because it
cannot keep separate accounts completely separate. That is why of all the
Windows clients only TB! and PMMail fit the bill.

Eudora, LO!, Netscape *Communicator*, TB!, PMMail98, Pine, PC-Pine, Mutt,
Elm, TKRat, Spruce, XFMail and I've tried nearly the whole list of Unix and
Windows clients there are. If there is ever someone who has come close to
trying *every* client on www.winfiles.com & www.tucows.com's combined list of
E-mail clients, it is me.

In your opinion now. Give it time, that'll change.
