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?

We use Thunderbird along with Lightning to give us the same features of Outlook - mails, calander, task manager. The look and feel is different, but then it is also much lighter. I believe you need a calender server (forgot what it is called) to allow people to share appointments in lightening.
I believe, microsoft exchange has implemented outlook web / webservice that gives the entire outlook function in a browser if you do not want to install a separate outlook client software. That may change your requirements if you are moving to Linux OS
