Not quite true. I'm running NT4 (sp4), and for the most part everything runs at a decent speed, with the one exception of Microsoft Outlook (not Outlook Express). Retrieving half a day's worth of Omega list messages can take 15 to 20 minutes on a 28.8 modem. Opening up the server portfolio drops the CPU usage down below 50%, and enables mail retrieval within the normal 1-3 minute limit. Needless to say, I always open up the server portfolio when retrieving mail.
