I used MLO, and now use Bonsai, but that doesn’t fit criteria.
Apart from what was already suggested, I can’t think of one more, most that I know are lacking in one or more aspects.
Maybe http://www.safarisoftware.com/mlp.htm MasterList Professional, but I don’t remember whether it handles recurring tasks It has Outlook sync, though.

I have yet to find an all-in-one PIM that is perfect in all aspects. Some try imitate Outlook, others are lacking in one or more areas. There is always some compromise to be made, either having one lacking in desired functionality, or running five apps instead of one.

Life is a project management. I don’t have much standalone tasks, most are project related (in GTD terms where anything that has more next action items/tasks is a project)
