You probably missed something, if you need an LDAP implementation try the qmailldap patch (most contribs are mentioned in http://www.qmail.org) ... but you couldn't have qmailadmin working with it (try phpQLAdmin instead ...). You can use vpopmail with qmailadmin, and LDAP but ... only for authentification.
Another important point is that Exchange has calendar fonctionnalities ... this could not be implemented in the same way (MAPI + Outlook). If i'm wrong, or if anybody has more information ... Please use a engine like "google", spend more time seeking information. Open-source isn't "free consulting"...
