Like (probably) most people, I don't want to have to go through the
process of becoming accustomed to a new operating system until I have
to. Microsoft has not had much money from me recently since I use
Windows 2000 and will do so until forced to change. I also use Open
Office, Mozilla and Thunderbird and continue to try to expand the Open
Source products on my systems. If I have to replace a system or MS
stops supporting MS2000 I'm sure I will be migrating to Linux.

It looks like it's for linux. Does it work on Windows?
I saw that it is being worked on but no it is not available on
Windows yet. There are more Linux apps finding their way to the
Windows platform everyday. Eventually people will find these open
source apps and realize that they don't need Microsoft for anything
except for specialized commercial software that is for business and
is written on the Windows platform only and the producers have no
intention of ever making it available for another platform. They
have to protect and support their commercial software producing
brethren and all. They don't want those hippie geeks with that free
software putting them out of business.

I would stick with MS Outlook
it's the best so far compared to the rest
and no, I don't work for MS
You have no idea what you are talking about. You have never
used Kontact. Outlook doesn't even come close to Kontact.
Kontact has:
Summary
Mail
Contacts
Calendar *
To-do List
Journal
News
Notes
RSS Feeds
Yes, Outlook has most of them.
All of these features work together and you can invite people
to events, meetings whatever through the Calender by way of
e-mail. You can also through the Calendar and e-mail show the
same people your Contacts, To-do List, Journal, Notes if you
want and have all of it update between everyone.
* Works with Google Calendar because they use same file format.
Outlook won't work with Google Calendar because Outlook has a
binary proprietary format. Everything that can be done in
Kontact can be sent to and received from Google Calendar.
Kontact can disable HTML in e-mail and can shut down other
e-mail spread viruses.
If you don't know, HTML can hide nasty code that you don't to
have unleashed on your computer.
E-mail and spam filtering is a million times better in Kontact.
Once you read e-mail with Outlook that e-mail can't be read
with anything else unless you first save it to some other
format while in Outlook. Any e-mail read with Kontact can be
read with a text program without first opening it with Kontact
and than saving it. Outlook stores your e-mail in one binary
proprietary format. If that file gets corrupted all your e-mail
is lost. Kontact stores your e-mail in separate plain text
files. It is not as easy to lose e-mail that way. Those
separate files together don't have the foot print of that
Outlook file.
I could go on and on. Outlook is junk compared to Kontact.
