I'm currently looking at rolling out SOGo as part of a major reworking 
of their current infrastructure (will also include converting their old 
Courier-IMAP to dovecot 2.1.x among other things)...

SOGo, as far as I can tell, is the best truly free and open source 
'exchange clone' available that works extremely well with 
Thunderbird+Lightning (which is what my Client uses currently, but they 
are very dissatisfied with using Google Calendar for Shared calendars), 
Outlook and Apple Apps, as well as Android, Blackberry and Apple mobile 
devices - and their upcoming v2 (in beta now) will not only provide 
native Outlook support (no plugin needed), it will also (optionally) 
provide a Samba4 Active Directory server in my main Client's office - 
all with absolutely no licenses required. Commercial support is 
available from Inverse, the company created by the developers to provide 
said support services.

I also learned something very interesting yesterday concerning SOGo and 
dovecot during a sales call with a SOGo rep, but I'll wait and see if 
Timo cares to chime in on this one... ;)
