I was reading about the Email package Oracle offers and it really doesnt
look like much more than a standard POP3/IMAP server that has a "new
feature" called web calendaring.
Hmmmm........ sounds allot like IMail by Ipswitch. Just 200 times the
cost.
It doesnt look like it does hardly any collaboration at all besides the
big bad Web Calendaring.

Subject: RE: Oracle to replace Exchange? Not!
Interesting discussion.
A couple of observations: Exchange and Notes are about
something quite
different than Oracle and other similar messaging engines. What
Ellison
calls e-mail, is not the same thing. The reasons that the
mostly Unix based
systems did not get the market that went the LAN server based
systems was
the cost of entry for small installations, and the lack of
critical features
such as integration with the Windows desktop and a good group
calendaring
solution.
That much being said, Exchange and Notes are now incumbents. If
they fail
to do the better job of supporting emerging requirements from
other
platforms, then Exchange and Notes could also go away or become
marginalized. Right now, Exchange does not do the web as well
as it should,
and some parts of Microsoft still labor under the totally lame
notion that
the new small devices are only companions to big PC's. Unix
folks back in
the 80's used to look down their noses at the lowly PC and could
not bring
themselves to stoop to be good service providers to them. Much
of that same
attitude is now being exhibited by the PC systems communities
toward the new
smaller devices. What goes around . . .

"Ellison derided Microsoft's Exchange e-mail servers as
unreliable and
insecure."
Huh? What??
