Maybe this is a dumb question, but if the company uses Outlook, why
don't they give *you* a copy?

Fortunately, I don't think an open source equivalent to Outlook exists!
You haven't said if you're using POP or IMAP; Thunderbird (mail
equivalent of Firefox) supports POP. I used it at Oracle for several
years.

Subject: Replacement for Outlook

Hi, guys...I'm doing more and more working telecommuting. I've been
granted VPN access to the company (not an easy thing for a contractor
around here) and are pretty much able to come and go as I please.
However, one of the things I need to do is get some type of program on
my laptop that will access the company mail system.

We use Outlook. Before I go and buy a copy of Outlook, dod anyone know
if there is an Open Source equiv to Outlook? I'd need as close a
replacement as I can get.

Any tips?
