I think evolution, once it is stable and feature complete, will satisfy
your needs nicely. There are official debs for a beta 0.10 release in
sid/woody, and prolly Ximian debs available for potato. I use neither
evolution nor outlook, but it appears to me that evolution was designed
specifically as an outlook alternative/replacement.
Be aware that evolution is a gnome app, so there are *lots* of preqs.
In other words, you need a fairly full gnome installation to run
evolution.
