I want to use Thunderbird mail, but can I use my outlook e-mail?

It's not that urgent, but I want to use it.

What do you mean by can I use my outlook e-mail? Do you mean you want to use the outlook client? or do you mean you want the email you have on outlook, configured on Thunderbird? – Dan Nov 29 '12 at 18:01

Do you mean Hotmail, re-branded Outlook.com? Do you want your old Outlook mailbox (and archive) transferred? Please clarify. – david6 Nov 29 '12 at 19:05
I mean the new outlook. Don't worry though, as i've sorted it. – nerof61 Dec 2 '12 at 13:08

Outlook is a software which runs on Windows only, not Linux. So if you want to use Outlook on Ubuntu, you will have to use a Windows emulator like WINE to make Outlook run on your Linux.
