Thanks for the comments. I am really leaning toward Maximizer at this point. I know I can download a trial of each, but the amount of work to really get up and going, I don't want to make a false start if I don't have to.
Its basicly a marraige releationship, pick one and then for better or worst, stick with it.
Perhaps I will rethink my Outlook thoughts, just seems like you shouldn't need anything that "bulky" to handle email, if you've got all your contact info else where.
Thanks again, I'm doing some more research this week and plan to make a decision by next week.
