You're wrong: I have partecipated to MS newsgroups a while ago when the first
releases of Mail&News (today Outlook Express) were released. At that time there
were nice discussions about the betas and requests of the new features. An I'm
pretty sure most of top requested features were added release by release. So the
used the beta testers also for feedback, and today Outlook Express is by many
considered one of the best all in one Mail+News programs.
