Yes, it's included in Office Standard, but not in Office Home and

To return to Mario Fonseca's original query, Thunderbird corresponds
much
more closely to Outlook than it does to the superannuated and vastly
inferior Outlook Express. As a non-user of Outlook, I'm far from
expert on
this matter, but from what others have written, it seems possible to
closely
integrate Outlook with Microsoft Office, which type of integration is
requested by certain users. Is it possible, for those who so desire, to
integrate Thunderbird as closely with OOo as Outlook is to Microsoft
Office
?...

A bit off topic but useful info for this group ...
a) It may no longer be true but my memory tells me that the *full
benefits* of Outlook require a specialised ("Exchange") server,
typically a corporation's, whereas Outlook Express is much more
limited and therefore doesn't benefit from the use of such a server.
b) In what way(s) does Thunderbird correspond more closely to Outlook
than it does to Outlook Express? Among other things, Outlook has
group scheduling, personal calendars, workflow facilities, shared
mailboxes and discussion group capability. Does TB have those?
Actually, I would think Evolution to be a closer match than
Thunderbird. Don't take this the wrong way--I prefer TB--but Evolution
has more of the contact and groupware features that are similar.
