As you know, Outlook is an all-in-one email, calendar, todo, contact application that also publishes information. In a corporate environment (especially a large corporate environment) most companies use and Exchange server to handle mail. If you are an employee in such an environment, and you want to adopt a Linux desktop you will be very limited in what you can do with an Exchange server.

I used to switch between KDE's Kontact and GNOME's Evolution. But it's been a long time since I've looked back at the latter. I finally settled on Kontact to keep me in touch with the reality of my hectic daily schedule. See how you can keep up...
Today we’ll be looking at a top KDE choice that has plenty to offer for those of you who crave some power and control over their applications. KMail is the default email client of the KDE desktop environment, which is available on a number of platforms, although primarily known for being on Linux.
