There are numerous reasons for this, but in any event there are suitable alternatives that you can use that are not directly associated with OpenOffice. Thunderbird is one of them (you can download it here http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/) and another is Evolution depending upon your operating system (the Windows version at http://www.go-evolution.org/Building_Evolution_on_Windows is not as advanced). I try to think of the lack of an outlook client as a good thing. After all, one of the motivations from switching from MS Office to OpenOffice was that I was tired of the monopoly Microsoft has on the desktop.
