Two that I'm aware of.

Includes on online demo of the web interface.  Interesting that it does not
use MAPI, making me wonder what Outlook/Exchange uses MAPI for.  When I tried
Eudora against an Exchange server, IMAP worked fine with everything, but
calendaring was a little shaky.  But then, Eudora does not include a
calendaring application.

Description of Mitch Kapor/Andy Refkin's Chandler, and screen shots of
the Vista prototype.   This is an Outlook replacement (not a feature by
feature clone), and is designed for the small enterprise (under 100).
It operates peer-to-peer, so no central exchange server is needed.
