I know the email wouldn't work, but what about saved emails, calendar, and
addressbook functions. I think that's what Outlook first brought into
being - a complete package.

Nothing. which is what will happen with no web access for any other

I assume that you mean a corporate firewall is blocking port 80.

It's late and I'm not understanding the situation fully. If you don't
have access to the outside world, you will only have access to the email
from an internal server. That limits what you can do. If you are stuck
on a windbloze box, your choices are very limited for the combination
you want. Thunderbird is nice, but the Mozilla calendar doesn't play yet
with the v. 1.0 of firefox. In theory, tbird can use an LDAP addressbook
for global stuff. I have not set one up that works yet.
