We use the OpenLDAP as the "company address
list". You can define additional fields with a different LDAP editor, we've
added fax number.
You'll miss the GroupWise address book.
Especially the shared address books if you use them.
Didn't miss GW calendering much.
GroupWise client was missed by some over Outlook
Express. Other preferred OE.
Imail web mail much preferred over GroupWise web
mail.
Unfortunately nothing got along with Groupwise.
Much better application integration with Outlook/OE.
I think the SMTP engine is a bit slicker. My
GroupWise SMTP would crash on some odd Chinese e-mails.
I use Declude for virus and spam. It's nice to
have it integrated rather than a separate gateway. GroupWise spam filter was
non-existant.
Groupwise server was pretty solid here. I did
have continual db corruption with my GroupWise Remote clients. Now I have
folder corruption with my OE clients.
Former GW 5.5 user here. Made the switch to Imail
in September 04.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Global address
book
I am strongly thinking of using Imail for my
company. In the white paper for ICS it states it has a global address
list. Can anyone tell me how it compares to what you have in
Exchange? Does ICS allow for first name, last name, phone number,
dept/agency email address, or is it limited to only name and email
address? < I have outside agencies info to import> I'm
having a really hard time thinking what Exchange will cost versus using
Imail's ICS. I'm looking at 500+ users 24/7 and growing.
Mainly I really wanting the shared calendaring and global address book
features.
Currently we are using groupwise 5.5. So
if ICS can give me similar functionality or better great. If not I
guess it's paying $$$ and going with Exchange.
Thanks,
Dave Davis
