I just heard about both projects at the similar time, and they've reach 
quite the same state in similar time too (in my understanding, which 
seems to be wrong).

After having researched a bit, it seems to be the case, you're perfectly 
right.

I know think that similar constraints (using free server software for 
quality and efficiency, connect to Outlook, etc.) lead to (quite) the 
same result : Cyrus + Postfix + etc... (I thought someone would say that 
free software is just about giving : nobody can steal Kolab because it 
is free, and Kolab don't have to steal anything from insight because it 
is based on free software)

Thanks to all about the work. Thanks to the mailing list support too.
