 That's exactly what I had in mind.  I'm very aware that it's not the
appropriate time to derail the *current* project.  I'm also very aware that
Citadel currently lacks some of the functionality to do so anyway.
 
 But what you mentioned above is the plan, exactly.  Citadel will support the
interoperability specifications set forth by the Kroupware project.  It will
also support interoperability with Outlook in whatever way the Kroupware
project settles upon.
 
 For now, Citadel is probably not the answer.  But I want the people on this
list to keep an eye on it, because what we're building is, in fact, the
groupware server the world is looking for: easy to install, no manual
integration required, and a single, web-based administration system.  One of
our design goals is that a junior sysadmin should be able to configure it --
you should never, never have to open a text editor.  The catch-phrase we've
chosen is "So easy to use, even an MCSE can configure it!"
