Yo LUGgables!

Odd how many posts are MS related :)

OK. I have a Linux box running samba that has rather smartly put a MS 
server on the dole. However, the clients (a range of MS Windows desktop 
boxes) need to run Outlook. The Linux server supporting POP3 and SMTP 
works like a charm but it is sooooooooo annoying sending an email via 
Outlook. You keep having to add addresses each time you send one. What I 
want is for a global email address book to be available to all users

So, can anyone reccomend a way of doing this? OpenLDAP looks like an 
answer. Any others? Anything that supports Outlook calendaring would be 
cool.

I could delete Outlook and use Mozilla but does it support shared 
address books? And what about calendaring?

Any advice gratefully recieved.
