If you work in a company where Exchange 5.5 is still in use (my
situation), you can't use Ximian Connector (Connector only works with
Exchange 2000 and Exchange 2003).

I've been using Crossover Office:

http://www.codeweavers.com

everyday ever since it's first release, and I'm very pleased.  It runs
Office 97 and Outlook 2000 solidly, with only some minor cosmetic
flaws.  Agreed, you could just use run Outlook on regular ol' Wine for
free, but I pay the folks at Codeweavers for their Crossover Office,
basically for their installer and for their support should I ever need
it (I haven't).  I believe it's about he same price as Ximian Connector,
and it lets you run the complete MS Office suite if you should need to.

Not a prefect FOSS solution, but a workable one for now.
