If you're talking about Mail, I stopped using that even for IMAP years ago.
It's a remarkably neglected product in terms of basic functionality issues from
what I can tell. I never used it with POP, but I can't think of an account type
that it's not given me fits over. IMAP, Exchange, Gmail, it sucks for all of
them.

"This is painless for Outlook users"
One can only wonder if making it painful for others is by accident or
design. Happy accident?
One would expect that these kinds of changes are tested against
Microsoft's own products and issues are resolved. But do they simply
not test against other products? Do they test and ignore the results
because they don't care? Do they implement a change that can be
supported by native tools, but knowingly breaks others?
I don't usually ascribe maliciousness where mere incompetence can
account for the fault, but I think Microsoft ran out of credibility on
this front 20 years ago.

There are a few manufacturers of high speed USB hubs. If I recall, one or two
of them literally overheated and shit the bed after about 5 hours of use.
