after thinking this over for a while, I actually started wondering if
this is about building a webinterface to an application (outlook) or if
it's simply an outlook-similair interface to a mailhost.
If it's #1, I keep to my point (especially since you interface to an
application which is *not* opensource). If it's #2 (or a variant
thereof) I agree with you ;)
