Re: [ubuntu-uk] SOT - PIM question.
Hello - Do you want to replace the Exchange service or use Exchange and access it from Ubuntu? Ultimately, Exchange does expose standard mail, authentication and calendar protocols as well as its proprietary interfaces so you could just use Thunderbird on the desktop and something like Funambol(1) on mobile systems as long as your host lets you enable the Exchange IMAP, CAL and LDAP interfaces. For a true open source alternative you can look at hosted Zimbra(2) or Icewarp(3), or Zoho Office(4) for a full featured web side service but ultimately I've ended up with Google after trying lots of these as It Just Works. If you're concerned about your data you can download it all and store it elsewhere. I've found that anything else is really too much work for what it's worth. s/ 1. http://www.funambol.com 2. http://www.zimbra.com 3. http://www.icewarp.com 4. http://www.zoho.com On 29 December 2013 09:49, Gordon C Burgess-Parker wrote: > I have my own domain name, and a hosted Exchange service so email, > contacts, tasks and calendar sync seamlessly with my phone, kindle and > Windows laptop. > I'm really struggling to find software on Ubuntu that will do the same. > Can anyone suggest anything I could look at or do to enable me to use > Ubuntu instead of Windows?

E-mail in Thunderbird is done with IMAP to Exchange, the Calendar and Tasks provider uses EWS.

[ubuntu-uk] SOT - PIM question.
I have my own domain name, and a hosted Exchange service so email, contacts, tasks and calendar sync seamlessly with my phone, kindle and Windows laptop. I'm really struggling to find software on Ubuntu that will do the same. Can anyone suggest anything I could look at or do to enable me to use Ubuntu instead of Windows? (I don't want to go down the Google route if I can help it) Cheers Gordon -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
