This is silly. I want a lightweight alternative to the Outlook Client so I don't have to choose between running that piece of crap or the piece of crap exchange site. Gmail an alternative mail...

Microsoft Outlook is a personal information manager which includes a to-do list, but I'm looking for just a to-do list.

This is silly. I want a lightweight alternative to the Outlook Client so I don't have to choose between running that piece of crap or the piece of crap exchange site. Gmail an alternative mail server, and a great one, but it is not an alternative to the outlook client.

This needs subcategories.

As a mail app the current version of outlook (2007) fails. But I think the calendar and contact management surpass the alternatives I personally have tried.

Best looking mail client

Outook is the best looking PIM. Not cheap but worth every buck. Disturbing: No native PGP support and no working PGP add-ins for Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013. Also Outlook is not portable.
