I have to say that apart from the Japanese bit, which I cant comment on,
what you have just described is Evolution. I find it stable, and easy to
use, with the ability to handle multiple Mailboxes. 

As for the Office apps, then you would have to go a long way to beat the
Crossover from Codeweavers. I use it for Word, and Excel, and even the
most complicated accounting spreadsheets we have open perfectly every
time.
