I have tried it and I was not very impresses. It's features were good by the way it handled the syncronisation and it's reliability was poor.
 
If you selected a folder which contained say 1000 entries it would syncronise to it in the background. If you then selected another folder it would add that to the queue to syncronise but after it finished it would crash outlook. Then due to it's flawed syncronisation method when you reconnected it would download the whole lot again resulting in duplicates.
 
Some emails (about 1 in 100 from this list) produce errors and it won't import them.
 
It doesn't use the IMAP features. So for example if you reply or mark an email read it is not marked as such on the IMAP server.

Subject: [Samba] Exchange Replacement (OT)

This is somewhat off topic, but since everyone here is probably interested in the topic, I thought I�d ask.

 

I�m looking  for a replacement for Exchange that will run on a Linux box. Preferably, it would support all the features of Exchange, but I realize that�s probably not possible. If anyone knows of a package like this for Linux, let me know. I�d like to get our network away for the Small Business Server that we�re using now. The licences are ludicrous. (We just spent $700 for 10 licences. And they�re taking 2 weeks to get the to us.)
