Just wondering if there's an open source Linux alternative to MS Exchange so that all the features of outlook work?

Most part of it is open source; the outlook connector ist closed source however and requires a license fee for more than three clients. It uses MAPI to connect to Outlook, unlike many other solutions that do calendar syncs etc. via the ActiveSync protocol. Zarafa is a completely different thing than dovecot, however; it stores all mails in a MySQL database. HTH, Jakob Curdes

Hey Marc, On 04.12.2012 15:15, Marc Perkel wrote:> Just wondering if there's an open source Linux alternative to MS> Exchange so that all the features of outlook work?Open-Xchange. They have a module called OLOX2 that enables you to make MS Outlook think it's connected to a Microsoft Exchange. So syncing of mails, calendar and contacts as well as global address book.

If you are into building the system, you can run an IMAP server and a caldav server. Davical gives shared calendars and shared address books, as well as a todo function that nobody every seems to use. In terms of limiations; for outlook you need a 20 euro plugin to support caldav and outlook is a terrible imap client, thunderbird doesn't support the shared address book thing yet, everything works as expected in evolution. Androids and iphones work, but you need something like a funambol server to support blackberry and other super-proprietary mobile devices. You can also add other features to make it shine a little brighter than an exchange server, such as openupload or webdav storage. And, if you really want a windows networking environment, all of this stuff can be made to authenticate against Samba4 active directory... -- Computerisms Bob Miller 867-334-7117 / 867-633-3760 http://computerisms.ca On Tue, 2012-12-04 at 06:15 -0800, Marc Perkel wrote:> Just wondering if there's an open source Linux alternative to MS > Exchange so that all the features of outlook work? >
