[ale] Is there an open source product similar to Exchange?

[Nathan J. Underwood]

A client of mine has a MS Exchange server with MS Outlook clients. 
They're a 'fiscally conscious' client, and aren't interested in 
upgrading to the latest and greatest from Microsoft because they would 
need all new [server] hardware, so they're entertaining a Linux 
solution.  After some searching and some questions in this forum, I'm 
looking into eGroupware.  So far it looks pretty promising, but we're 
having to think outside the box to get calendars working like they do in 
Exchange / Outlook.  If this is something you move forward on and you're 
interested, let me know and we can swap notes.
