Ok, that's two mentions of outlook style clients. Great. Now, unless I'm misunderstanding things, evolution-mapi is a client, so I still need to find an OS replacement for exchange itself. I don't care if it's merely a separate package to my imap server or if it contains the imap implementations too. But it needs to handle the scheduling functions like exchange would. So that if person X sends me a schedule request and I accept it, then person Y can look over my calendar to see what's up on my schedule. Anyone got a good recommendation for an exchange SERVER replacement? :) On Wed, May 21, 2014 at 5:54 AM, Lonnie Olson <[email protected]> wrote: > > On May 19, 2014, at 2:18 AM, Dan Egli <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Someone was asking me today if there were any open source projects that > > were compatible with Exchange/Outlook (not outlook.com).
