[Dovecot] IMAP and Outlook XP Contacts

[DiskMan]

>From what I was reading, Outlook Contacts and Journal entries were little
more than craftily laid out emails. I was reading about it over at
Open-Xchange, the open source version of Suse/Novell's Open Exchange. They
used MS's SDK for Exchange Server to 'back engineer' the whole process?!?!

I'm going to stick with Dovecot/Postfix/Spamassassin combo... After getting
Postfix [going from MBOX to MAILDIR] figured out and configured, I don't
intend on changing over to something else anytime soon.  Will L G

I know some people who have, I think, deployed Bynari for a client. I  
think this client has a few tens of desks or maybe a hundred or three.

I have certainly seen & used Binari in their trial installation and  
it seems ok.
It doesn't handle contacts as well as Outlook-and-Exchange but it's  
quite adequate.

Binari has been around a while now - at least a couple of years - and  
I'd have reasonable confidence in its stability.
I just wish there was a fully OSS solution to email & calendaring  
that was as good as Outlook-and-Exchange, but I'd imagine that that's  
some time away.
