I don't agree that Mail is limited. I've been running Outlook 2011 on our IMAP server (we don't use Exchange). It runs fine but I really don't see why people like Outlook all that much. The interface is cluttered and with screen updates that are a bit fussy with redraws as it sorts the messages.
The good news is that it seems to work fine in our environment. It even behaves better than Outlook on Windows with IMAP servers. In particular Windows Outlook with IMAP doesn't have a trash can so it leaves deleted messages inline marked with a strikethrough until the user clears it which users don't like.
