Yes, that's a sad story. SLOX (SuSE Linux OpenXchange) was very
promising. When SuSE got bought by Novell, there were far to many
Messaging services around (netmail, groupwise, slox), so slox had to go
away.

Hula is, let's say, I child under the projects and when I looked at it,
was not very evolved. I don't know how much changed in this time. But
when comparing Hula and OpenXchange with Zimbra [1] for example, you
probably see why they disappear and don't get that much attention
anymore.
