I also did an extensive search for Groupware and Mail services.
Samsung's Contact was by far the best that I found as far as commercial
products went.

I looked at Amphora (http://www.amphora.ee/freeware/) as well. There is
a free version as well as a commercial version. The documentation wasn't
all that great, but I managed to get it running, and in combination with
PostgreSQL, it did everything that I was looking for (i.e. meeting
requests, free/busy, scheduling, etc.). The one problem that I found
with most of the groupware systems was that they all required the mail
server to be local. They also tend to require a specific mail server,
such as wu-imapd. 

Just my $0.02,

Kenny
