Does this help (I guess &sol; means '/')?

A true open source exchange server replacement seems to be lacking. You
might take a look at opengroupware.org but it requires Outlook plugins.

There are plenty of web based groupware systems such as
http://demo.sugarondemand.com/sugarbeta/index.php?action=Login&module=Users

Could you coax management away from Outlook collaboration and towards
web based groupware and a shared LDAP address book. It's a shame to see
businesses getting entangled in prorietory windows software as it makes
the potential switch to linux desktops much more troublesome.

Not very helpful, I know.
