Can Someone Carbonize Outlook 2001

[Simpson, Gary (NTM)]

We all know that Microsoft will not develop Outlook for OS X. I'm not a
developer, but shouldn't there be some way to Carbonize Outlook 2001 to OS
X? I think it is worth looking into. Otherwise, I think there may be a
Unix client for exchange. Maybe port that over to OS X. My two cents.

Hi Gary!

I can definitely sympathize, but I'm sure no one will do this because
Outlook is copyrighted by Microsoft. If it were open source, that would be a
different issue.

Until Microsoft develops software that follows open standards and not
proprietary standards, functionally equivalent clients most likely won't be
available.

I'd personally be very interested in a good Unix version.

try Evolution from Ximian. It is not Outlook, but it looks alot like
it, is build on open standards, and is open-source too.

Hi brent!

Ximian's website doesn't mention support for Mac OS X (it does for certain
versions of Linux and Unix). Have you tried it yet on Mac OS X? I'd be
curious to hear your thoughts.

Thanx! bill
