Microsoft Outlook IS a mail client.
I've just been using the web interface.
Before the migration, I'd used Squirrel Mail.
If you want to be able to use both Microsoft Outlook and a Linux mail
client in
tandem, i.e. check and respond to your email from both systems, then you will
require a mail server that supports the imap protocol. Depending on who
provides your email service (your isp, usually) this capability may or may not
be provided.
Ouch. I'm pretty sure it's POP.
