Outlook comes bundled with MS-Office. So give them Office (which they
probably need anyway) and they'll have Outlook. They can use it to access
any IMAP/POP3 mail server to retrieve mail and any SMTP server to send.
You only get some of the PIM functionality. For instance, you can't share
calendars.

Too bad you can't use Outlook Express and OpenOffice.
