I too prefer Thunderbird to Evolution, but Evolution is probably a bit
more like Outlook. Perhaps it's possible to give users a choice between
the two. Of course, that is making more work and headaches for
yourself, because the first time a user has a problem with Thunderbird,
the boss will say, See? I *told* you use Evolution. :)

I'm not overly familiar with either, however when we migrated our mail
system, many of the users who don't have Outlook were set up with
Thunderbird. (All Windows machines.)
