Exchange Equivelent

[nimbu]

Hey guys,

I need to setup a shared Diary for the office at home, the only was I have done it in the past is to use exchance (SBS), but I cant justify the price tag to either upgrade to SBS 2003 or get Exchange.

Anyone know of any resonably priced solutions out there? or any Linux equivelents?

On outlook 2000 you can share calendars and contacts without the use of exchange Costs bout £20 a pop from eBay

there is Sun's Iplanet (now sun one) which has a lot of exchange functionality such as shared calanders etc.

HP Openmail supports calendering , but I dont know if its MAPI drivers work with the newer versions of outlook.

Slipstick has a few good suggestions.

Openmail's also being killed, I believe, which is a shame.

On the Linux Front:

Open-Xchange

OpenGroupWare

Any use?

[ikonia]

openmail is certainly being killed

There is no decent viable alternative to Exchange Server, IMHO. I was looking at one for my company and in the end joined the MS developer program which got me an "action pack" which included SBS and 10 CALs.

It's the one thing sorely missing in the Linux/Open Source world.

sun one server works well, Iplanet is also a fine option

Cheers guys the open xchange dont look to shabby, think ill have to demand a week of work to play and get it setup.
