[ale] RE: Open Exchange Query

[James Taylor]

That "drop in replacement" is a relic of the the pre-Novell SuSE days.
I doubt you'd find anyone in the current Novell collaboration group that
would tell you that now.

We were a SuSE and Novell partner prior to the acquisition, and we were
never an advocate of OpenExchange.  As  free product it is ok, but as a
commercial product it leaves a lot to be desired.

I have recently spent a lot of time with OpenExchange (free version and 
SuSE Linux openexchange server 4.1) trying to do the 'drop in' 
replacement for MS Exchange.? The short story is, despite what the 
marketing and pre-sales tech support tell you, it's not a drop in 
replacement (verbatim from Novell tech support).? The web component of 
the product is very nice, but for MS Outlook Clients, it basically 
functions as an IMAP server.? The ISLOX connector is supposed to provide

the MAPI stuff, but we were not successful in getting it going, and 
Novell doesn't support it.

The acquisition by Novell seems to be confusing matters.
