"Outlook" client for Mandrake Linux 8.1?

[Shadow07]

I would like to have a Linux client that is similar to the Outlook client for Windows, but I am not sure which one to get. I have seen the one called INFUSION, but all I can find for an RPM build is the one for Bedian/BSD. Also, does the client you suggest support MAPI/RPC with or without SAMBA?

Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion of Evolution. I have installed it and I like it very much. I also like the XIMIAN Desktop. Very cool.

not to turn this into a kde vs. gnome thread, but i believe that for corporate work environments, ximian works much better and presents a cleaner interface. But i suppose this is due to it's less exposed customization capabilities. Believe it or not, I *don't* like the startup wizard that kde has when you log in for the first time. It's too overwhelming.

Ximian looks very professional and "sincere". That's just an opinion though
