 Subject: excange server features
 
 
 Does freebsd support features like shared folders, calendars, as 
 MS exchange
 Server does?
 I use Windows and Exchange Server in LAN, but for extranet, the mail and
 web-aplications are running under Freebsd.
 It'd be great to have posibilities to build exchange like system 
 on freebsd
 and sendmail.
 Did anyone hear something about exchange-like soft under freebsd?
  

There have been various attempts to build a server that runs
on UNIX that interfaces directly with the Microsoft Exchange
connector under Outlook, so that you don't need to use the
IMAP or POP3 connectors under Outlook.  The obvious advantage is
shared calendars.  Is this what your looking for?  Note that
the Exchange connector itself doesen't work through a translator
and as a result Microsoft is moving towards RCP-over-HTTP now
for the remote Exchange/Outlook clients.

FreeBSD is neither a IMAP server, nor a calendar server.  It has a built-
in file server, but I don't expect that's what you mean by shared folders

They exist.

Exchange isn't really software.  It's more like a bajillion different
softwares all bundled into one.  If you define what you want more clearly,
you'll have better luck finding it.

Some hints:
There are multiple webmail ports:
http://www.freebsd.org/ports/mail.html

Horde/IMP and Squirrelmail are probably the best known.

iCal stuff can be enabled by adding a WebDAV enabled web server.  Apache
can do this.

You can create shared email folders using IMAP.  The logistics of this
depend on the specific IMAP server you're using.

dovecot provides IMAP server and operates well with windows.
there is never good, unless you will install something real like 
thunderbird, opera mail etc.

sqwebmail is the fastest, and it's PHP/otherbloatware free. takes 1 minute 
to configure.
