Do you really need to ask? After all, if Outlook was able to save email in RFC 822 compliant text files, you might be enticed to use a competing mail agent [mutt.org].
Overall, I've found that Exchange isn't that bad, if IMAP is enabled. It's difficult to change your email password (unless you're actually logging into an NT domain), you can use a real email client, you can get at the full headers, and save mail to mailboxes. Of course, there are better email servers out there that don't crash hard when you hit an arbitrary 15GB limit....
