Outlook Experiment 
IN the interests of having a unified email client (my employer requires the use of Exchange) I attempted to use Outlook to also read my home email.
After less than a day I have given up on this idea because:
- Outlook's handling of the IMAP mailbox is inconsistent with its handling of the Exchange mailbox
- I could never figure out how to make the signatures to work properly with the multiple email accounts
- antispam in Outlook is poor as compared to things like Thunderbird (it is actually disabled for my Exchange account as we have a Barracuda doing the gross filtering and the Outlook filtering kept catching non-spam; it is less painful to run with it disabled)
- this morning Outlook just hung while trying to read my IMAP mailbox
