what you are looking for is called "imap" (heh)

I don't think so. After I pull it down off my mail server, I still want
global access. I don't want to leave my mail on the server. I know that's
what imap does. Are you suggesting that I run an imap server on my local
machine too?

Therefore swapping out Outlook would be a
"piece of cake."

you've never had to migrate 5,000 users off of their favorite mail
client before, have you?

Actually yes. Not quite that many though. No one has a 'favorite', they just
don't like change. That's my finding anyway. That's why some people still
use pine. ;-)

which is actually a legitimate issue to be dealt with on this list...

Nah, I believe SPAM should be dealt with in a client-transparent way.
(Infrastructure changes, not client ones, unless your client is a source of
spam, which is the case for Outlook)
