How about GroupWise on Linux?
Novell now owns Ximian, and is in the process of of integrating  w/
GroupWise in the 2.0 release of evolution.  Currently there is a cross
platform java client  (Linux, Mac OS X and Windows) that provides full
multi-machine calendar, email and contacts access, plus web plus
wireless.  Evolution 1.X doesn't support the calendar and contact sync,
but it will be here version 2.  If you currently have an email platforma
that qualifies for an upgrade, the list price is $69/mailbox.  There is
a "lite" license that goes for $30/mailbox if you access other than
throught the GW client.

I have a system running you can demo if you like.

I have been looking for a linux based Exchange server type solution that

I can use w/ Evolution. Here are the requirements: 
1) Runs on Linux. 
2) Evolution integration. 
3) Web based access. 
4) Synchronization of email/calendar/contacts when accessed from 
different computers. 
5) Turnkey solution. 
6) Does not have to be open source or free. 
 
Maybe this is what I have been looking for? Cost is $60/user.

Anyone using Scalix or have anything to say about it? 
 
It is based on HP OpenMail, same as Samsung Contact, I believe. Not sure

if this is a good thing or bad thing. 
 
There may be other solutions. Here is what I have investigated and why I

think it won't work for me (someone please let me know if I have 
anything wrong below): 
 
1) Oracle Collaboration Suite: No Evolution connector and no plans to 
build one. 
2) Suse OpenExhange: According to the link below, Novell is "developing"

a connector for OpenExchange, so it's not there yet.

3) Samsung Contact: No Evolution connector. 
4) SquirrelMail: Not turnkey. Requires an IMAP server to run on top of. 
 
Am I missing anything?
