We use Steltor, Cyrus IMAP, Keberos V & OpenLdap works great.. Not as tightly integrated as exchange on the user side but we're a UNIX shop so not a problem plus our solution lets users select there preferred mail client -- something many of them like to do. We're also able to support Macintosh clients natively for Calendar & Email. You can't do the outlook workflow stuff (custom apps ala lotus notes). We're also behind on Cyrus installs and our users are looking forward to having Server Side (Sieve) rules. We support between 2000 & 3000 email accounts and about 1300-1500 Steltor accounts. We're an email intense institution. Calendar use is split about half of our users are hardcore 8hours day / 5days a week users other half casual use. Some specs
