You use the phrase "yet another Outlook clone".  Are you implying that there is a functioning,
open source, multi-user capable clone of Outlook?

AFAIK, there isn't.  There aren't even many people attempting it.  Let's examine the Outlook-like
tools that I know of that aspire to be multi-user:

Aethera.  IMO, a dreadful failure.  I've spoken to the guys at Kompany and hopefully they will be
doing something with it.  Actually is useful as a simple mail client.

Evolution.  It took them 700,000 thousand lines of code to do that!  Not multi-user yet.  Ickky C
based GTK.

Like I said before we simply have two different approaches to solving providing one similar
solution.  I see no reason for everyone to be forced down one path towards achieving this
solution.  And once my application becomes useable, I hope to be as interoperable as possible with
KDEPIM.  There's also some good code from KDEPIM that I plan on using (like KEditDate).
