Ultimately, it will have to work with Microsoft Outlook and Exchange - 
my guess is that the majority of corporate types are using that. 
Personally, I'm using Outlook for my primary email account and 
Thunderbird for the secondary (since Outlook doesn't support secondary 
emails).

Did you know that you don't have to use a Yahoo mail account? You can go 
into your Yahoo profile and add a second (and third and fourth) email 
address, and for each group separately specify which account you want 
the emails to be delivered to. You can also use any of these email 
addresses to post to the groups.
