+Outlook (now MicrosoftOffice Outlook as of v2003) is
MicrosoftCorporation's GroupWare client. [
They describe it|
http://www.microsoft.com/office/outlook/default.asp] as a "PersonalInformationManager and communication solution."
-Talks
to MicrosoftExchange,
[IMAP],
[POP3].
+Immensely popular with corporate users due
to its strong (and closed) integration with server product
MicrosoftExchange via [MAPI]. Outlook also talks open protocols such as
[IMAP] and
[POP3]. With closed-source addons such as Bynari's InsightConnector or the ~OpenGroupware.org plugin, you can use Outlook to do shared calendaring against a database or IMAP backend

+Criticised for a chequered security history which lead to the propogation
of dozens of internet worms
. Recent versions have addressed most of these issues (by default, executable attachments are blocked, images don't load in HTML emails, items are not auto previewed, etc)
.
-Famous for its lax security which lets dozens of internet worms propogate
.
+!!Outlook is slow running over a VPN

+Apply the following .reg snippet:
+<verbatim>
+REGEDIT4
+[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Exchange\Exchange Provider]
+"Rpc_Binding_Order"="ncacn_ip_tcp"
+</verbatim>
+
+The default value uses RPC first, and also includes spx, named pipes, netbios, and even Banyan Vines! Thanks to [this Tek-Tips thread|http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=651431]
