Samsung Contact is a piece of art, it's the actual HP OpenMail, which is brilliant with
its support for MS MAPI and MSRPC, i have cd with it, the demo will work for about 7
users or something like this. (for free and forever, i dunno the actual distributor in uk,
but i can try and see if i can find it around)

I've seen quite a few exchange replacement, like VolutionServer from Caldera/SCO Group,
Insight Server etc...  and for me OpenMail had won the race for that time, dunno what the
situation now.

Other thing is to create and exchange replacement yourself, the best ground will be
http://dbmail.org, mysql/pgsql centrilized db storage(shame it doesnt have good threading
and redundancy) and it works find on freebsd (wey!), actually i managed to achive a sort
of folder/calendar shares with Web interface rather than with MS Outlook, since it wont
work without an add-in.

What exactly do you need?(i.e. mail folder shares, calendar/notes shares?)


cheers,
