Parent article: Outlook vs Evolution vs Kontact: an e-mail client comparison (opensourceversus)

Well, that's exactly what kontact is. You can run all of it's components
as standalone applications, kmail, korganizer, kaddressbook, knode,
akregator, and arrange them the way you want. Kontact is just a shell
which combines these applications into a common frame and it was only
developed because of the ongoing crying demand of former outlook-users.
That's also what turns me off about evolution. It's just another (bad
IMHO) outlook-clone and I can't use it's components individually or
replace components with something else.
