Can you recommend any mail client and/or groupware

What email client and/or groupware do you use at your company?
If you have time, can you please also read below...

If you know, can you please tell additional info like pros and cons? =)

Because aside from basic email, calendar, address book features etc, we NEED to be able to do things such as:

a. create/program electronic forms
b. route documents among different people (for approval etc)
c. repository of documents (possibly limiting access to certain people) or company-wide reports
d. ...etc etc

These are possible in Lotus Notes, right? We're also looking for other alternatives. How about Microsoft Outlook? Can we do the things I listed above? Like create simple programs for e-forms and routing? Haven't actually tried Office 2007 but I heard it already has very good collaboration tools (Grove? SharePoint? Can these programs do the above?). How about any good open source solutions?

Your help would be greatly appreciated! =) Thank very much!!

Lotus Notes is the best solution for this. We use it where I work. I don't believe Outlook/Exchange can do what you want to do.
