I'd venture to guess that it's because a lot of people in our field
use Outlook unwillingly.

Since the audience of this list is mostly system administrators - I'd
even guess mostly unix admins (but I'm not 100% on that), I'd also
venture to guess it's a sentiment that many of us share. If you like
Outlook, more power to you. It doesn't really fit in my workflow, and
it'd fit even worse in a command line only workflow that many of my
peers use. Eh, whatever.

You piqued my interest here. I'm not one to argue over semantics
usually, but, unless you're using the calendaring stuff in Exchange
(file under 'satisfies my needs' and perhaps under 'not just a mail
server')... how does any other mail server *not* perform reliably with
cross-platform availability?

Well, curiosity killed the cat, and I'm willing to be the cat here.
