Yes. both with Scalix and Zimbra. Both are robust and offer a much richer web interface then Exchange. Both offer superior backup and restore mechanism then Exchange. In the two environment used, Hebrew on the Web interface is not an requirement. Outlook was using with Scalix and no issues were reported regarding Hebrew. Outlook connectors are a problem on Internet environment. RPC over SSL is not an option, so other tunneling solutions are required (IPsec, stunnel or ssh), which is annoying for user (but if they insist on outlook...) Scalix is closer in functionality and interface to Exchange, which is rather limiting. Zimbra has more features (tagging, integration with spam filters, a richer rule set). They are not cheap. Don't go there to save money on licensing. They are also licensed yearly. They are more robust then exchange and have smaller infrastructure demands (Windows Servers and AD) > > > On 10/11/07, Lior Okman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > You might want to checkout Scalix, OpenGroupware.org and openXchange, > > all of which have (more or less) all the features you mentioned. > > > > > > OpenXchange requires that you buy a connector for Outlook access, but > > it's pretty cheap. > > > > > > I think Scalix provides the Outlook connector for free, but requires > > that you use a premium user with the connector.
