I think Shakespeare said it best: "much a do about nothing".
My only complaint would be those that give a reply and drop the original
question when the SUBJECT was not sufficiently clear to describe the problem.

They are not available if you can't use them with your proprietary mail
server. And, remember, that this proprietary mail server took over for
other reasons. I've been involve in many projects where they attempted
to replace their proprietary mail server with something else that does
all of the same stuff, and it almost always goes nowhere, because:
a. The non-proprietary clients to which you refer don't approach
other areas of functionality available in the proprietary client
b. The non-proprietary server won't interact seamlessly with the
proprietary email client for those who prefer it.
And so here we are.
