eM Client takes on Outlook, Thunderbird

Looking for another alternative to Microsoft Outlook? While Mozilla Thunderbird offers many of the same features as Microsoft's email client, you need to install plugins to add calendar and task management features. eM Client, on the other hand, comes equipped with a full featured email client and contact, task, and calendar managers.

eM Client is a Windows only application that has been in development since 2006. Version 1.1 beta of eM Client already offers a pretty robust Outlook clone, with support for IMAP and POP email and CalDAV calendars. While it's not exactly an Outlook killer yet, eM Client's developers are working on a few killer features:

Google Calendar and Contacts Sync
ActiveSync support
Universal translation tool
Facebook integration
IM integration
Anti-virus integration

eM Client also has a highly customizable interface, which is always nice.

As much as I love Thunderbird, saying it is anything like Outlook makes me think the writer has not used Outlook in a corporate setting.

This app looks promising.
