Quoting Curtis Sloan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

> I hate to be the voice for closed source (let alone Microsoft) in this

> uses for Outlook that draw on functionality I have yet to find in a single
> FLOSS product.  That being said, for most people (and most uses - e.g.
> e-mail, simple Calendaring, some Task management) a drop-in replacement like
> Evolution are enough.  But if you ever need to migrate your custom forms,
> Outlook workflow management methodologies or Public Folders from an
> Outlook/Exchange environment, it changes into a much bigger, uglier
> proposition.
