    My current email client is The Bat but its shortcomings are a lack of calendar. I need that for when I am sent appointments from my company.

    I do have Outlook 2003 but have also come across eMClient
    http://www.emclient.com/features

    and wonder if it has as many vulnerabilities as Outlook.

    Any other suggestions welcome that combine a calendar function.

    I used eMClient in the past extensively and came from The Bat. That being said I switched to Thunderbird for plugin capabilities and just the pure feature setup. I then ran into issues with Thunderbird and switched to Outlook 2013. Ive been happy with Outlook 2013 and using my Gmail calendar/email account via IMAP with it.

    Which vulnerabilities you are referring to? I am not aware of any not been patched. Or you refer to old unsupported Outlook versions?
    Outlook 2013 here on IMAP... works flawlessly...

    Thanks for the replies.

    I was really thinking of malware attacks. The Bat is fairly secure from that point of view but Outlook is always a target and so wondered if eMClient was any different.

    If your that worried about it pick a security solution that offers SSL scanning and Outlook traffic with IMAP and POP3 ports that you can define for scanning.
