The 16-bit Win 3.1 version does, yes - and fairly well too, if you have
16-bit or better of RAM (the same can be said of any largish 16-bit Win 3.x
package). A few of years ago I had it running on an OS/2 2.1 system used
for development in an otherwise all "Win 3.x" office and
performance-wize it put the Windows systems to shame. :-)

It did have problems in dealing with a very large number of entries in the
global addresslist database in that it used to trap, but the same problem
was exhibited by Windows systems too. The difference was that Windows would
lock up, but OS/2 would just close down the Win-Os2 session. Neither result
was particularly convenient when you were simply looking for a name to send
mail to. :) This was in one of the Melbourne Telecom administrative
offices, so their address lists were pretty big - over 8,000 entries in
total, but they had to get it down below 2,000 before it would work more or
less reliably. Consequently, only managers and above got listed in there,
and everyone else's mail address was put into the internal directory
instead.
