I only use Outhouse when I absolutely must do so, which is very rarely. It
tends to crash a lot and take with it the mail archives, which of course are
in a proprietary, binary format so that they are difficult to recover.

(I notice that your domain is in .es, so I might need to explain that in the
USA, the word "outhouse" means "outdoor toilet." It seems a fitting nickname
for a product that is as bad as InBlind! I've also heard it called "Lookout!")
