Possible, but I doubt it. There are already some good, free, open source mail

Playing devil's advocate here for a moment, if you really want to go
head to head with MS Office, sooner or later you're going to have to
face the behemoth known as Outlook. Without it, it will be Microsoft
Office vs. OpenOffice + some random e-mail client. Get the drift in
terms of unified products.
Even though I am late responding, I couldn't let this one sit.
We have been forced to Exchange server with no IMAP or POP allowed.
This forced me to Evolution, the Linux clone of Outlook. And it sucks.
This is one reason that I am late in responding. I don't want an email
client tied to my office suite. Just because Microsoft does it, doesn't
make it right. They tied IE to the OS so you cannot remove IE and
applications can call IE if they wish, even if you use Firefox and
configured it as your default browser.
We have this issue with people using Word for creating Emails and then
all we get are attachments and crap. This is a problem for many people
that find this annoying.
This is a problem with Microsoft trying to tie all applications into one
big mess of a program. Now you can charge more money.
And for what it is worth, most of the people around here that seem to
like Outlook are those that have not tried anything else.
