You will never get updates for outlook 97, 2000 and XP an they are widely
used, at least in developing countries. Oulook 2003 really seems not have
problems.

Yes I agree, this is not cyrus problem but Microsoft problem. But users
aren't interested in problem of Microsoft and theyr impotency to make correct
implementation of pop3 and imap client. In fact I don't expect that
Microsoft will ever be able to follow RFC rules. But until there is
somethink better than outlook, we have to live with broken client software.
