Outlook Equivalent

[colinjm]

A friend is steadily making his three PC's at home legit. He's now made the jump to legal Windows XP, Photoshop Elements, Paint Shop Pro, Nod32, and essential freeware such as ZoneAlarm e.t.c. The last stumbling block is Office 2K3. He's looked into Open Office which seems pretty good...very good infact. The only real issue is that there is no Outlook 2003 equivalent. Can anyone suggest a good alternative to outlook, or will he be stuck with using Outlook Express or Webmail.

Thanks All

What are you using Outlook 2003 to connect to? If it's an Exchange server, I'd check the licensing. It could be free, or very cheap.

It's connection to a home user POP3 account.

Thanks for the recommendations of Thunderbird, he's had a look and it looks perfect.
