Thanks, Roger! That sounds like it's exactly what I desired. BTW, that
was a very
impressive piece of work with those details and especially the
cross-references!!!
Interesting note that what you referenced is actually a generic standard
that
Micro$oft Outlook implements - makes me wonder if I can hack around with
Outlook and
get some interoperability with other tools - do you know if M$ Exchange
can be used
as a server with other IMAP clients too? Also, will other features in
Outlook
and/or Exchange interoperate with or be replaced by generic open source
tools? I'm
just starting to delve into Outlook's calendar/scheduler/planner tools,
and I'd much
prefer to discover an open source alternative.
FWIW, to answer some of the other comments in response to my original
question, one
of the reasons I asked was because these features are an important part
of a couple
of very successful Windoze groupware products, and I think that it's
essential for
Linux to have equivalent functionality in order to be a credible
contender in the PC
platform space. From the answers I got I'd say that there is a
reasonably good
solution for this particular requirement at least, but that the general
knowledge
and documentation are still somewhat behind the PC product vendors'
offerings. If
we can improve on that we may have a contender!
THANKS!
