Check out Apache for WebDAV support.

Outlook 2000 (and maybe earlier) can already use a web server to "publish" a users 
calendar.  I believe that this is how Bynari's InsightServer (http://www.bynari.net/) 
achieves some basic Outlook support 
(http://www.bynari.net/Products/TradeXCH/OutlookConfig.pdf).

Hi all, Sam,,,

The purpose of this email is to troll for some reactions on future suport
for clients.

Most of us are using a mixture of clients.  some with products from the evil
empire.

some time ago I looked at a product from HP called OpenMail.  The reason, it
support M$ Outlook using MAPI.  This meant users could use and share
calendars etc...  just as they do connecting to Microsoft Exchange Server.

It would be nice if Microsoft would just allow you to place the calendar and
todo stuff into a IMAP server, they are obviously protecting Exchange
Servers' market.

I came across the following on the HP site (they are discontinuing Openmail)
........

"Microsoft has announced that the next major release of Outlook will not be
based on MAPI. The release will probably be called Outlook XP. Today it is
often referred to by its project name Outlook 10. Outlook XP uses MAPI for
legacy support of older versions of Exchange, but it also uses a new
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) based protocol called Web Distributed
Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) for new features. Given the amount of
reengineering that would be required, this new release of Outlook will not
be supported by OpenMail."

Given this statement (and Microsoft's obvious desire to protect it's
Exchange Server market) would it ever be likely that Courier could ever
support these new Outlook clients?

Ian
