I wouldn't use anything MS makes unless I have too. I have to use XP at times, but I don't use IE for example.
Your case just points to me, why we should not use web based mail. The bigger the company, the less they care and willing to help.
The best thing I ever found for e-mail, is a local cable company which I get though Thunderbird (Linux), and g-mail for for less mission-critical services. (IE: backup)
Thunderbird forfills everything I need. Filters spam, and the mailbox can be put anywhere, which can easy be collected, if Windows or linux is damaged so bad it cannot be restarted. That's why mainly I tell all my customers (I do computer service on the side) NOT to use Outlook express. You can recover they're mail though Tbird, but OE is hit or miss at best.
