Well, the first part of your statement is debatable (that they are not "Open Source"), but the second part is fact .. they do not use OSI approved licenses. So, if your definition of "Open Source" is an OSI approved license, then they are not open source.
What's more, in all of these cases full outlook capability is not provided in the "Free" version anyway.
Outlook calender/meeting functionality requires (in almost all the solutions) a really non open source (proprietary and not compilable) program to make use of the proprietary outlook/exchange interface called MAPI. Most of the free versions of these mail systems use IMAP, with will not properly be used by outlook to do calander functions ... and they charge for the outlook MAPI client, which will allow for outlook calender/meeting functions.
