Home users are often looking for their e-mails incoming and outgoing to have childish or old-maiden-ish "stationery", and also to directly include photos, animated emoticons and other junk. They don't want it wrapped up as an attachment. They don't want to see their incoming mail split into two or three separate files that need extra clicking and poking. Office users want seamless integration with the same calendar, address lists, resource-booking (meeting rooms, projectors, etc.) and so on that all their fellow employees are using in Outlook. They also want to cut'n'paste from Word and Excel and Powerpoint directly inline in their e-mails (again, not as attachments).
