outlook/exchange alternative on linux

[tekkerguy]

I have a few questions about using a linux server. I know that I can use samba to connect a windows desktop to the domain.

But as for email,

1) On Linux server, is there an equivalent email server application to Microsoft Exchange?

2) If so, can I import emails from exchange to that server application?

3) Can outlook connect to it?

4) Is there an alternative to outlook that can connect to it?

I'm using Zimbra now and it works great. It comes with a web client, or you can use whatever client you want.
