Hmmm I don't know if this will count for you, but if you can get a copy
of office 97...

I have a copy which comes with MS Outlook and which requires a service
pack to 
enable SMTP and POP mail.

Out of the box it can only talk to MS Exchange servers.

Outlook was originally never intended as an internet email client hence,
perhaps, some of its designed-in flaws. It was assumed that it would be
recieving mail only from trusted corporate servers.
