Hi All,
Many times we say that email clients like Mozilla Thunderbird, Eudora, are an open source email clients which are good replacements for MS Outlook Express and MS Outlook. But are these really a replacement for MS outlook? I can agree that they are a good replacement for MS Outlook Express but not for MS Outlook.
so if they are not a replacement for MS Outlook, then which open source clients are a good replacement for MS Outlook?
That's right. Thunderbird by itself is just an email client. What you are looking for is an integrated mail, calendering, note taking ...etc application. Here's a list you can go through: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_personal_information_managers
I've used evolution[1] and zimbra[2] both in corporate environments and have found both good for my limited use of such things. I had also used Mozilla lightning[3] for thunderbird which you might also want to evaluate.
Note, that you can also search for additional 'addons'[4] to Mozilla Thunderbird for things that you miss about Outlook.
