As it happens, it's one of our customers I'm on-site with at the
moment (and have been since last December, modulo some holidays and
interludes); my company also uses Exchange and Outlook internally,
having changed ("upgraded") from cc:Mail.  I don't have an account on
my company's e-mail system, and I don't really need one.  It's only
another way to be hassled.  ;-)

I have already decided that I must move jobs; the thing about here is
that there is fairly low penetration of free software into businesses,
so it's likely I'll be working with proprietary stuff for a while yet.

At the moment we have a 3:1 ratio of interns to "PC techs", which
means that I mostly get to tackle things when all the easy options
have been exhausted.  However, these things are few and far between.
