For Calendaring, ACT! 2000 should be able to accomplish what you're looking for as well provide pretty good contact management. Before it was bought from Symantec, their support people helped me set up a shared database that was kind of unique for our needs. Interact Commerce Corporation now owns the software ( http://www.act.com )
As far as peer-to-peer environment, all you would need is to designate one machine with a share that houses the database.

Let's face it: Exchange is expensive, and does a lot of things that most of my SMB customers will never need. I've seen a few different products, but have yet to find one that integrates and works as well as Outlook with an Exchange server. Do you guys have any ideas on substitutes. The main core features that most SMB's use would be the scheduling/calendaring , POP/IMAP email, and address book. It'd be nice to have the whole lot integrated, but seperate products with a good UI would do. The email and address book clients are easy enough to find, but what about calendaring? Something with the ability to both share an office calendar, and have seperate (but viewable) calendars for each worker. Editor priveleges for a secretary on specific calendars would be a plus, as well. To complicate it a bit further, how about something that would work on a peer-to-peer network (< 10 PC's) with no dedicated server? Any thoughts?
