Free alternative to Outlook?

[aleta]

What are the good alternative to Outlook for Windows. I'm looking for something as good as Ximian Evolution and I'm having a hard time to find something as neat. I don't want to wait until Chandler is usable.    I tried WinPIM, but it does not include a mail program...
Anyone satisfied with a decent alternative?

Herion.

I mean Eudora.

Hi, thanks for the reply, I am already using Mozilla Thunderbird and Firefox. I also tried Mozilla 1. This is not what I'm looking for. I am looking for a Personal Information Manager, not an email client as Eudora or Sylpheed. I meant Outlook, not Outlook Express!

So again, I'm looking for a PIM (Personal Information Manager) as good as Ximian Evolution that runs on Windows.    

All I found for now is
WinPIM, but it really has the Win XP look and feel, and it sucks.

Any idea?

No?  :confused:

Tried Novell Groupwise yet (not for free though, but it's awesome)?

I knew I forgot to post something! Although I don't have much first-hand experience with PIMs, I do remember reading something of Lotus' offerings, and how they work out well for most people.

I just took a look at IBM's website, and what you're looking for is "Lotus Organizer." I suggest looking in that direction.

Click.

It's 60 bucks, by the way, so make sure it has all the features you need.

Thanks for the tips. Novell Groupwise seems to be only for Linux, but I'm interested in Lotus Organizer.
Thank you much.

$60 isn't that bad, really. so many of those types of apps run hundreds of dollars.

This is true. A price is to be paid for quality software. I wouldn't wish wasting $60 for nothing useful on most people, though.
