I'm researching solutions that provide the functionality of MS Exchange but run on a Linux server. It must interoperate with Outlook and provide full Calendar capability (not just email capability.)
I know this isn't going to help you in this case, but...
I've found in *most* (not all) situations, no one ever uses the integrated calendar functionality in Outlook.
In smaller companied, where I can influence the requirements, I've had success in two directions:
1. Use a web interface. One client I had was impressed that you never had to install software on the client machines AND that you could check email from home with zero setup.I hooked them up with a somewhat limited install of PHP Groupware and they were very pleased.
2. My current client is a VERY new company and has not needed to establish inter-office communications, as it's just 4 of us. I'm having them test both PHP Groupware and Mozilla with the Calendar plugin to see if they like it. Mozilla Calendar uses an interesting implimentation of iCal that uses FTP (or WebDAV) to sync your various calendars. (File permissions on the FTP server are how access is handled.)
My personal preference is for something web based because of the reduced IT costs in setting up clients, but the geek in me likes Mozilla.
...just my unrequested $.02
