I don't necessarily need anyone to use Outlook, as long as there's a decent
alternative.  Thunderbird will not do.

I was eyeing Zimbra Desktop.  It seems to be an installable client-side app
to use instead of Outlook, no?

The goals are:
At least as good as Outlook for:
        - Email
        - Addresbook
        - Calendar
        - Ability to work offline and sync online
        - Cross-platform compatible (particularly mac & windows)
        - Web version available when away from your own computer
