Nope. The closest replacement possible (TMK) is Evolution (with
Exchange plugin) and Open Office. However, the Evolution plugin only
works with Exchange 2000 or later. There are still shops running
Exchange 5.5 that use specific Exchange functions not accessible from
other MUAs. Sure there are better MTAs to use than Exchange, but when
you're talking about a drop in replacement at the desktop level
(Office/Outlook) you need to look at 100% (or near 100%) functionality
replication.
