It grabs me that the biggest problem free software has in this sphere is that Microsoft have set the bar too high. Everyone assumes that all organisations "need" all the features Exchange provides. In my experience, LDAP, IMAP and some kind of calendar are all that are needed. Are there no free software clients that integrate these features? I think calendaring is the big gap... -- Rev Simon Rumble <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> www.rumble.net "The ability to quote is a serviceable substitute for wit." - Somerset Maugham -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
