Info sec for email is *always* a problem. It's also critical to the record keeping: the ability to re-route, or delete, or backfill email needs to be handled. (Do not get me *started* on desires to backfill email that never happened, or to silently tap people's email with or without managerial permission! Switching to GMail made it possible for me to say "can't be done!!!" and avoid responsibility for such abuses.) Fortunately, modern IMAP based email systems give easy ways to transfer or replicate email wholesale ti alternative servers, wholesale. Thank you, *gods* for the migration from POP based services, which have mostly disappeared but stored all the folder information on the client. For most clients, they can pretty much cut and paste their old Exchange folders to a new IMAP environment. *Migrating* from Exchange to the new environment takes time and effort. For folks recommending Zimbra or Zarafa, I'd be very curious how they migrate data from Exchange clients. I'm sure that part's not just "drop-in replacement".
