I agree. For me the choice is very simple. Scalix is written in C and Zimbra
in Java.

I tried Zarafa and got it work. Sorry I forgot to mention that. That is another
alternative too. It is also written in C.

But once again, it involves connectors.

I like Zarafa best. Though once OpenChange matures all this will become
irrelevant and it will kill Zarafa's commercial advantage I think.

Moreover Zimbra is more of a heavyweight mail solution that is popular and
I wonder why.
