How to run Microsoft Outlook On Linux?

The date from i start to use Linux, my biggest difficulty is that i could not find any alternative software that is powerful as Microsoft Outlook in Windows. So i decided to find the way that allows me to use Microsoft Outlook in Linux. After googling a few useful tutorial, i found the most simple way.

1. Install VirtualBox software.

2. Install your virtual machine (Microsoft Operating System) in to VirtualBox.

3. Once you finish installing Windows, you will need to install drivers for the emulated graphics. Click Devices from main window and click “Install Guest Additions”.

4. You’ll get a popup in the VM. Run the setup and reboot when prompted, that takes care of the graphics drivers and tools to allow us to take advantage of Seamless Mode.

5. Now everything is up and running. To enable Seamless Mode, press CTRL+L. That’s all. And below is the screenshot of what i am talking about (In the screenshot, there is Outlook 2007, and the start menu of Windows sits at the bottom of the screen, while I have the KDE Desktop menu just below of Windows’ start menu).
