There is no 9.4 version of Ubuntu. There is 9.04 and 9.10 and not 9.4 and
9.1. The decimal numbers refer to the months in which they were released
(April the fourth month and October the tenth month) and the number before
the decimal refers to the year. The next release will be 10.04 coming out in
April 2010. Just so you know.

Outlook is not an email programme. It is an integrated suite with contact
manager and calendar. Unless you really need Evolution most people install
and use Thunderbird, the Mozilla email client. It is cross platform and can
be used in both Windows and Linux. You can even copy your settings from one
machine to the other. Evolution would be a replacement for Outlook and
Thunderbird would be a replacement for Outlook Express or email only client.
Thunderbird is simpler to use and set up if all you want is email. You can
get it in the repositories.

If you really need to use the features of Evolution, then by all means use
it. It has a Windows version too. You can get a pdf of the manual for
Evolution here: projects.gnome.org/evolution/doc/evolution228.pdf.
Like many people who install Ubuntu I don't use Evolution, but I opt for
Thunderbird.
