I'm somewhat in the same boat, I can use OpenOffice for everything I do 
at work that requires M$ Word/Excel etc, however there is one 
application I need under WindoZe that I can't use under Linux, and its 
the only reason I do not convert my work system from WindoZe.  I need 
Microsoft Outlook and the group that runs the Exchange servers will not 
enable IMAP on the Exchange servers.

Everything else I do at work is easier accomplished under Linux/Unix.

Is there a replacement that will work with Exchange? or is there a 
reasonable way to get Outlook to work under Linux?

Thanks, Jeff
