I used Ximian Evolution for a few days on fedora core 1.  Not bad overall. 
Really simple to setup folders and filters.  The one feature I found difficult
to get used to was the display of threads - too little indent after the first
entry in a thread, so my weak old eyes couldn't pick out start and stop of a
thread very easily.  I don't have an Outhouse server to try, thank the good
lord.
