I'd go so far that UI wise, MS Live Mail client from the MS Essentials package is better suited for a mom then Thunderbird, but ultimately, all MS products end up being faulty. For example, the build-in mail client of Windows8 fucks up PDFs so badly, that you can't open them any more. And there is no fix to that, if you do not own the mail server.
