I would agree. If one made a glove to fit your left hand, why try to force
it into your right hand... Outlook was built to work with Exchange.

NO

Yes, its a nightmare :-S

yes, I am using Thunderbird, running on FreeBSD with KDE 3.5. It works well,
although I do not have the calender, reminder, notes,  and more... Imanaged
to get Thunderbird connected to the GAL (Global Address List) and i was able
to pick up all the email addresses. But i could not get my calender details.
I could set an appointment, and see appointments i had received for the day,
but once the application closed, all those got lost to. In my outlook, it
would show that i accepted an invite or created one and scheduled it. but in
thunderbird off a linux/unix computer, I could not see them.

Ill try Zimbra starting next week and let you know.

Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in
a million chances happen 99% of the time.
