Hello, why not you use mozilla thunder bird for email application?
It's better than Outlook 2003

by default, ubuntu have evolution installed (email application), but I more comfort using thunderbird...
To use Evolution, goto menu application-internet-evolution ...

To install Thunderbird
Open synaptic in menu System-Administration-Synaptic Package manager, click Search, type Thunderbird ...
just install it, and use it ...

you can import your outlook data into Evolution or Thunderbird. I'm more familiar with thunderbird myself as well as its cross platform. here's the instructions:
