Hello!
I'm user of staroffice and then openoffice.org from middle of middle of
90ths and I don't like suggestion, that new ooo users looks for outlook
alternative. I felt vary comfortable with staroffice 5 integrated PIM
and I don't uderstand why it was removed from application together with
batadase application, which now comes back. I don't understand also
suggestion that integrated e-mail client will be new target for worms
and viruses. Why then people still uses Evolution under linux.
Actually there no alternatives for outlook under windows now. Those
opensource clients, which are available, usually consumes anourmous
amount of memory, like Thunderbird and Calendar. Writing an event in
these applications takes much more time than in Outlook or Evolution.
Web based applications isn't vary useful, because at least here, we have
lot of problems with network quality and speed.
I'm waiting for some kind of windows release of Evolution to look at it
in work. Until now I didn 't see any better choices.

What is stopping you from using Outook as your email client with
OpenOffice.org? OOo will work with Outlook just as well as it will
Mozilla. If you want a spellchecker other than MS Word, those are
also available on the internet for a small fee or for free.
Just remember that Outlook's close association with the Windows
O/S means that you have to continue to be very vigilant about email
viruses and trojan horses.
And there are alternatives enough:
