dovecot - May 2008 - Web-based shared calendar synchronizable with Outlook

Hi,

I know this request is a a little off-topic but may be interesting for
dovecot users (at least i hope!)

Does anybody has already had an experience with a calendar sharing 
solution including a webcalendar and an outlook connector,
"compatible"
with dovecot ?
Today, there are many projects aiming to be a "M$ Exchange Killer"
(such
as Zimbra, OBM, open-exchange, etc) but they offers a global package 
with MTA and imap server included.

I saw the page about BynariConnector 
(http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/BynariConnector) but unfortunatly they do 
not provide a webmail :(
I'm afraid


What I am looking for is a shared agenda solution providing a 
webcalendar, an outlook connector and eventually a pda connector, using 
(or not) dovecot, and a corporate ldap server...

What are you guys using ?

Well...

www.scheduleworld.com provides free syncing/sharing of calendars, tasks 
and contacts, between Outlook (funombol plugin), Thunderbird (SyncSW 
extension) and alomost all phones (even non-smartphones can usually sync 
contacts).

This is a full 2 way sync for all clients, and it works great.

But... I think what you are reakky asking about is not a shared calendar 
solution, but an exchange replacement, which this is not...

Not using right now but I have used WebCal 
(http://bulldog.tzo.org/webcal/).  It went end-of-life back in 2003 and 
I haven't found it's replacement (though only doing some light
searching.)

Some of the user/administrator interface is butt-ugly (mostly color 
selection and combinations) but it does a nice job at shared 
calendars/resources and the big plus for me is it is written in Perl so 
can be modified.
