1.) UNIX based mail and FIDO based mail came before M$ "types" of mail. M$ types of mail are proprietary and generally not well written bits of software.
2.) RESEARCH. Google is your friend. In linux you have Evolution, Balsa, Sylpheed, Kmail and several other mail packages NOT including the ever popular Mozilla Mail and Netscape Mail. Have you bothered to look at your system? You SHOULD have at leat four different packages that come default with your installation without making any choices. RTFM.
3.) Evolution is better than Outlook (otherwise known as LOOKOUT) and Outlook Express (otherwise know and LOOKOUT NOW); dig into your system and RTFM.
4.) You have the ability with a normal installation to have IMAP and POP3 by default; if you want M$ style IMAP ability, install the packages and they work right off the bat. RTFM.
Linux/*NIX are the original "mail handlers" from more than 30 years past. You also have PINE, MUTT and MAIL available from the command line...
How long have you been using linux now?

I don't think he means like exchange or normal mail..
years back I used to use a microsoft mail program which I setup to
allow people on the internal network to leave messages for each other..
sorta like internal messanging system.. I think it was the forerunner to exchange..
I could be wrong, but that sounds like what he is after a client for. He might be out of luck, microsoft mail used to work via samba I think.. (clients looked at a shared directory on the server)
thats from memory so could be wrong.
