Yes, I succesfully used Outlook 2000 with wine. I also heard that OL 
2k03 works fine with wine, but did not test this myself.

I have no information about OL 2007 on wine.

However, when Outlook Compatibility is needed, I would strongly suggest 
to use codeweavers cross-over linux. It will save you a ton of sweat and 
tears.
