One question I often get asked is how to setup Linux to give you the full 
groupware (shared calendars, shared contacts etc) functionality of MS 
Exchange server and, without paying, I don't think there is any free 
solutions that currently exist. Whilst it is true that there are plenty of 
free solutions for free e-mail clients such Kontact and Evolution putting MS 
Outlook into the equation creates a whole new ball game.

It is possible to cobble together a mixture of technologies (under Linux) to 
meet all the groupware functionality of Exchange but most Windows users like 
to do it all through Outlook (especially companies) as Microsoft intended and 
without paying money I have not found a solution to make it all work via 
Outlook.

From my point of view it's a shame really because I know at least one company 
out there using MDaemon Pro (http://www.altn.com) that may have looked at 
Linux. Still at least MDaemon isn't MS Exchange.

Regards,
Paul.
