After thinking it over, I'vebelieve most of exchange server's
functionality can be ported to a unix system running IMAP fairly
transparently (except that server storage requirements will increase-
but hd space is cheap, eh? {information store vs individual folder
storage spaces} )
Most of outrook's calendaring, messaging, and other functionality (with
the exception of journaling and global addys) is stored (or is exposed
as an object ) as a message (from/to/subject..ect). A little client
side vba macro and/or a vb program (to get around any
authentication/privacy/security issues) will probably be the ticket in
replicating those items in an IMAP folder set. Plenty (partial)
examples are abound on the net.
If you choose this route, let me know what you kind of roadblocks you
experienced; I'm interested in pitching this one to my company when they
turn down a chance to upgrade exchange.
Cheers...
