According to OSOR.EU,

All 130,000 desktop PCs at the Directorate General of Public Finance (DGPF) in Paris are to be switched to using the open source Mozilla Thunderbird email client, its Lightning calendar and the open source groupware application OBM.

The French tax authority DGPF is the result of a merger begun in 2007 of the Directorate General of Taxes (DGI) and the Directorate General of Public Accountancy (DGCP). Each uses their own email system, IBM Lotus Notes and Microsoft Outlook and the integration of the two departments prompted a move to new email and groupware software.

The tax authority selected Thunderbird for reasons of cost and management of licenses.

Google has released Google Email Uploader which is an open source desktop utility to import emails and contacts from Windows desktop email clients like Microsoft Outlook. You need to have a Google Apps account in order to get Google Email Uploader to work. It won’t work with regular GMail. This utility works only with Windows XP and Vista. If you are using Thunderbird email client and you have your emails stored in a different folder outside the Thunderbird profile folder, email uploader won’t detect those mails. If you have Google Apps account and you want to use the uploader, you have to first activate by logging into your Google Apps account.

Thanks to my brother for the link.
