Hello all,
until the Open Source community come up with something that at least "looks" like Lookout or Express Lookout, a lot of people will stay with the devil they know. Human beings are... human beings, and until they get such an equivalent from the Linux (Unix) world, they will stay with what they have.
That is the only reason that is stopping me setting the format God on my XP partition.
Evolution is a better than Outlook clone.
However, that doesn't solve issues regarding proprietary formats, etc. coming with and used in integration with Exchange.
I run real Outlook 2000 under CrossOver Office today.. no problems... I attach straight to the Exchange server... it can't tell the difference.. it's Outlook after all.
Fortunately, we enabled pop on our Exchange internally so I can use Mozilla mail (which is what I used for everything except calendaring... for that, I still use Outlook... just Outlook under Linux).
We have about 25 users now using SuSE 8.2 or SLES 8 based desktops running CrossOver Office with Office 2000 (incl. Outlook). People love it!! However, this is an expensive "solution" since you still have to license Office.
That, boy and girls, was my 0.15 (euro) cents worth.
