As to the Outlook/Outlook Express vs. Thunderbird/Evo/whatever argument, 
there are many legitimate reasons for people to use Outlook/Outlook Express. 
Maybe they have a corporate standard, maybe there are technical reasons 
(T-Bird doesn't handle IMAP right for me), or they might just just like 
Outlook/Outlook Express better.

To say that using Outlook/Outlook Express is some sort of faux pas is just 
silly.  Making someone feel like they are bad for  using a product from big, 
bad Microsoft is nuts.
