MS Outlook 2010 Crash

Hi there,

I installed MS Office 2010 (licensed version) using PlayOnLinux (v4.1.1) on my laptop with LinuxMint 15: Olivia (x86-64).  It took a while to work through the errors I got during installation (.NET Framework, etc.), but got it working in the end.  Now, Word & Excel works just fine, but Outlook crashes after I open it.  It doesn't even last half a minute from when I open the program, then I get a "Program Error" popup from PlayOnLinux with description "The program OUTLOOK.EXE has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
Now, if this was a problem with the installation, the other programs should do the same, right?  But they don't, so I have no idea where to go from here.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Regards
Willie

Sorry, in addition to the above, I'm using Wine v 1.5.16.
And, something else I noticed is that there's a popup when I open Outlook stating "Wine is being configured" which doesn't happen when opening any of the other programs.

Looking forward to your response.

According to WineHQ, there are issues with MS Office 2010. Some very quick googling points to two links which may prove useful to you.

I have no experience with using MS office apps through wine, and personally I would suggest looking into all the alternatives that actually have a native linux client.

Thanks Daeradin! Seems like I'm not going to get a solution... I've been on it for a couple of days already... Now, I'm rather looking at alternatives like Zimbra and Evolution.
