I don't even need it to be one single server. If I need to set up mail,
LDAP, and whatever else separately, that's fine, too.

I'm looking for the basic functionalities of Exchange: E-mail,
centralized contacts, shared calendars with permissions and free/busy
data, meeting requests, and the like. And, it all has to tie nicely into
the client side, since several of the users insist on using Outlook....

I didn't know that this had been released yet. I remember when HP
abandoned it a few years ago.

Last I heard/read, this only ran on mainframes.

Thanks,
