Well, after trying Pegasus Mail yet again for awhile I've decided, again, to go back to Outlook (the Pegasus Mail site hasn't even been updated because of the release of version 4.0 yet). Pegasus Mail's IMAP doesn't work right for my e-mail at Rutgers, and there is no shortcut to check and send mail!! That's the most basic thing you do in an e-mail program! I'm thinking of switching to Outlook Express instead of Outlook, but what I really want to do is write my own e-mail program. It'll give me a chance to learn Windows programming, and get to flex my C++ muscles. 
While I'm here, here are some old, but I hope still relevant, articles from Microsoft on MFC. Microsoft Foundation Class Library 4.0: C++ Application Framework for Microsoft Windows, and Microsoft Foundation Class Library Development Guidelines.
This is about the only meaty documentation I could find from Microsoft on MFC. Though it seems shallow at first, it seems to get deeper as you click through links. It even has a sample app I'm looking at now. We'll see if it gets me anywhere. Crap, but of course it requires that I have Visual C++ to use them.
Then again, maybe I should just use wxWindows, and I just found out that Python has a binding to MFC!
