If you mean by "defeat the purpose" you mean an attempt to force people to 
buy all new software, you're probably right.  However, that wasn't what I 
asked.

Yes, both of our IP's "allow" use of other mail managers.  But I have been 
looking at new mail managers for the past 12 years and despite any other 
claimed benefits, they are each and every one basically clones of Microsoft 
Outlook.  Two pane  designs allowing only one folder open at a time.  Grossly 
inefficient.
