Thanks craftyc
It often happens I'm fucked. 
I'm installing on onformatted free space, letting Xandros format automatically.
I read onhttp://www.frankscorner.org/ that CrossOver supports Outlook 97 and 2000. I tried installing Outlook from Office XP on my laptop and on the desktop. In both cases, it installed but screwed up. On the laptop Outlook runs, receives mail, but won't send it over the smtp server. On the desktop it won't start. I deleted the Linux partitions on the desktop and started over. Same result. Until CrossOver supports Outlook 2003, it isn't that important. I've imported all my addresses to Mozilla and it looks like it's included spam filter actually works pretty good. That's my main interest since I'm getting 100+ spams a day right now. My ISP has no filtering capability whatsoever.
If you want an Outlook clone for Linux, try kolab from
www.kroupware.org. If you don't like that then try Evolution
www.ximian.com, although it's not based on qt like kolab. Stick either of the two with SpamAssassin and you're set; decent mail client/calendar program with decent spam filters.
I think out of the two Evolution is the better, but then I'm not such a huge fan of kde.
