As of this time, OOo does not have anything like Outlook.

There used to be a contact manager database for OOo, that hooked in
with a calender database.  Not group shareable (though I guess you
could email the database around), but it was "barely adequate" for an
individual. With a little bit of work it _might_ have been usable by a
business.

I _think_ that the features that Outlook users are wanting, are  the
calender/contact manager functions..

For group scheduling,and calenders, a LAMP solution makes more sense.
That can also be more easily integrated into Thunderbird, than
OOo.[Use the Lightning extension as the scheduling/calender function.
Export personal calendar to the LAMP database. Import group calendar
from the LAMP database.]

For group contact management, a LAMP solution "should" work.  A macro
for Calc (to send out snail mail) and possibly a custom UI, for
adding/editing the contact database would be required. OH, and a way
to impor tthe email addresses into Thunderbird.

OOo can not correct for incompetence in creating documents from MSO.
Furthermore,OOo can not compensate for the defective and flawed
security measures used by Microsoft. As such, before using this product
for exams that require faulty and defective software, ensure that you
will not be unjustly penalized for the incompetence of the organization
that requires the use of software that is known to be flawed,
defective, bug-ridden, and fails to meet ISO file format standards.
