Hi,

We are a small company of around 150 users. We are looking from
changing from our Qmail installation to something like Exchange server
for Outlook appointment/calendar syncronisation etc. We gave them
PHPGroupware, but they want the ability to sync via Outlook.

I am looking at several Linux based products, and a Windows based
product. The Linux based products are Open Xchange server,
Exchange4Linux and Comunigate (multi-platform). The Windows product
is Mdaemon.

My question is is there anything I am blaringly missing? I don't want
Exchange, and would prefer a Linux solution if possible, though it
wouldn't be difficult to move to Windows if we had to.

Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Andrew.

What about Novell Groupwise? It is a commercial offering with support
and documentation. As far as I know, the version 7 is Outlook friendly
and it also runs on Linux.

Could be a possible alternative - however, the alternative client put

Thanks for the info though.
