[SLUG] FOSS email server for Outlook clients?
Hi all, We're looking at ditching Exchange, but unfortunately we need to keep Outlook. Shared resources like calendars and contacts is still needed... Any ideas?

quote who=Eddie F We're looking at ditching Exchange, but unfortunately we need to keep Outlook. Shared resources like calendars and contacts is still needed... Any ideas? Don't ditch Exchange. That's basically the only sane answer. You can try things like SuSE OpenExchange (recently open sourced by their upstream), OpenGroupware.org and so on, but they're all somewhat suboptimal. If you can live without a FOSS solution, you can try Samsung Contact (previously HP OpenMail) or Novell's Groupwise. Don't ditch Exchange. In fact, some good Exchange training will get you much further than the current crop of FOSS alternatives. And if you stick with Exchange, use 2000 or 2003. It's much better, plus you can use the recently open sourced Exchange Connector for Evolution with it. - Jeff -- What's all that about? http://www.no-name-yet.com/ Lord, thy one-liners are as good as thy tricks.

You may check Horde. It's got several components. Its' got web based mail called 'IMP' for mail functions used by a number of good Universities in North America. It's got an addressbook component, which is named 'Turba'. Its's got Calendar, named 'Kronolith', and is rapidly developing with shared calendar functions. It's got other components that one may call groupware functions. Check http://www.horde.org Eddie F wrote: Hi all, We're looking at ditching Exchange, but unfortunately we need to keep Outlook.

You could look at Novell's groupwise. Apparently it's more flexible, powerful and manageable than exchange. So far I have not found a good opensource replacement for Exchange.
