Kolab is a full replacement for Outlook/Exchange based on IMAP and LDAP. Unfortunately, it can be a real bitch to set up. Once it works, it keeps working. If you want Outlook to use all features like shared calendaring and such, you need a commercial plugin for each client. :-( See also: http://www.kolab.org/ Follow the link for kolab-client. Disclaimer: My experience with it is very outdated. Things may have changed meanwhile. Another not-so-far-away path to groupware in mixed environments: KDE 4.1 (June/July 2008) will be released for Linux and other UNIX-like OSS systems *and* OSX and Windows. By the time it is released, install kmail/kontact on *all* clients regardless of the operating system, enable "Groupware" and voila - you have got it. Just a couple of months away. ;-) Uwe -- Informal Linux Group Namibia: http://www.linux.org.na/ SysEx (Pty) Ltd.: http://www.SysEx.com.na/ -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
