Well in relation to email clients, there is only so many ways you can layout such a thing before it starts to get impractical to use. Microsoft Outlook (express) are good mail clients. Microsoft has spent a lot of time in researching how users are most productive in the email client layout.

To say that a particular open source app is copying a MS app is not totally true. The concept of ease of use and most productive environment is the goal for any program and you have to stick with what works.

For the record, I use SuSE 8.2 Pro w/ Ximian Evolution
