I've done quite a bit of research on this. Here's where I'm at now: kroupware.kde.org: the Kolab server essentially will operate as a replacement for MS Exchange. You can use Outlook with it, if you purchase a connector for it. Per-seat charges apply. Evolution too. In fact, the connector is put out by Ximian.
Aethera (seen on slashdot this weekend) is a cross-platform email/calendaring/etc. client. Someone on this list raved about it a few days ago. They expect to have it able to talk to kolab in a few weeks. My money is on Kolab and the KDE client, or if windows-bound, with Aethera. If the customer is willing to pay for the connector, then Evolution is what I'd use. There is a free connector (Multisync) in the works, it syncs with Evolution, and I posted today on their list about Kolab. I hope to know about this soon. There are non-free exchange replacements out there, but who really wants to pay for software? --Joey Thou spake: >Does anyone know of any good open source groupware packages?
