Davide: As you have tested, I believe that it work like that. In my work I set up MAPI connection if I can. Most of my customers wants a "well known" (read expensive) environment and MAPI does acutally work quite well.
Allan: If you send, in Exchange, to "All in organization", You will only send to users with mailboxes in the Exchange organization. However, a simple solution wold be to create a mailinglist in XMail containing all local XMail users (one extra step while creating the user). Then in Exchange you create an external adress pointing to the mailinglist and add that external adress to the Exchange distributionlist and you have your "all users" distributionlist from Exchange. Then you can publish that distributionlist SMTP adress in your organization and all XMail users can send their mail via the Exchange distributionlist and back to XMail mailinglist (man, does Intel/Cisco like this :D) About the group collaboration software, I am looking too. But I think that it should be a separate application to the mail server and that they can cooperate instead. Else the application will only be a direct competitor to Exchange/Domino, with the same fundamental problems to solve. PS. Dont forget about the Antivirus for Exchange! With Exchange and Outlook it is NOT enough to have the protection on XMail. And Yes, it costs, but you easily spend 1-2 days cleaning the Private Infomation Store if you get an infection, during which time the Exchange server will be down.
