Outlook or OE are quite nice to use if only they don't allow that much scripting support. The good thing I feel about MS products are that they are scriptable, but therein lies their problem.
While I have yet to find anything that comes to fully replace those 2 programs among FOSS (Evolution's fonts really do suck!), I can live without worrying about viruses and worms whenever I open my emails/attachments.
User education is important and just becuse no one has found a way to make Evolution, KMail or even Mozilla Mail vulnerable it doesn't mean it will stay that way for all times.
Same as we argue about password complexities. Reagardless we use Windows or NIXes, using blank passwords for admin/root accounts is a surefire way to get rooted.
Now can we argue that if we use NIXes it will be less vulnerable?
