[Dovecot] [OT] MS Exchange Alternative?

[Bob Miller]

If you are into building the system, you can run an IMAP server and a
caldav server.  Davical gives shared calendars and shared address books,
as well as a todo function that nobody every seems to use.  In terms of
limiations; for outlook you need a 20 euro plugin to support caldav and
outlook is a terrible imap client, thunderbird doesn't support the
shared address book thing yet, everything works as expected in
evolution.  Androids and iphones work, but you need something like a
funambol server to support blackberry and other super-proprietary mobile
devices.  You can also add other features to make it shine a little
brighter than an exchange server, such as openupload or webdav storage.
And, if you really want a windows networking environment, all of this
stuff can be made to authenticate against Samba4 active directory...
