I expect it depends on what your priorities are. I know that Evolution as 
provided on SuSE is supposed to be quite decent - I'm not sure whether it's 
an up-to-date version on ubuntu or even the same, because I don't use 
Evolution.

If getting the features supported of windows app x is a critical work thing, 
buy Crossover Office Professional and use a supported Outlook version.

You get to install and use app x quickly and easily, as well as put a small 
amount of money directly into the wine project and fund its development.
