[Evolution] drop-in replacement for Outlook?

[Tom Davies <tomdavies04 yahoo co uk>]

Hi :)

Are there any good on-line training courses in how to use Evolution?  A friend with a very low level of 
computer skills wants to learn how to use Outlook so that she can put it on her CV for job applications.  

Of course she doesn't actually have MS Office on her machine yet so she is trying to buy a version to use at 
home.  Then one of the other typical Windows problems cropped up;
1.   the  on-line course that people pushed her into is the old 2003 one and 
2.  the one on our machines is 2010 
So, the course doesn't have the ribbon-bar.  Muahhahahah.  

So i am wondering if she could 
1.  learn Evolution (and LibreOffice)  so that she could 
2.  become an advocate for OpenSource software almost by accident
I tend to find that people who start with OpenSource find it easier to make the transition to MS as long as 
it's only temporary.  Even before the transition they tend to be more proficient with MS tools than the 
average office worker.  

I might be being a tad over hopeful here but if there is a course that teaches people the basics of using 
Evolution/Outlook then it might be something i could get other people into taking and maybe build-up 
OpenSource take-up locally even if it's only a couple of people.
