OK. Thanks.

OK. Thanks. Problem is, I'm pretty much tied to Outlook. Any Groupware
server I get *must* sync to my Outlook clients. And with the Webclient
not able to do anything but webmail, that severely limits the
functionality of the webclient.
Maybe I could disable everything but e-mail as an option in the
Webclient?

Sounds good. I truly hope for good thins like this. But I don't think
I've got the time to wait. We need a Groupware/e-mail server soon.
I'd prefer, well *ANYTHING* but MS Exchange. SuSE's Groupware looks good
but still seems a bit pricey.
Amphora looked pretty good but then they "restructured" and the whole
thing seems in limbo at the moment.
phpGroupware looks great but their Outlook client (besides being closed -
seems the standard for Outlook clients), Hamoa, has some syncing issues
and creates a potential security risk on installed clients.
OpenGroupware.org also looks great but the Zidelook client is fairly
expensive and only available in minimum 5 license units and there isn't
even a Demo version to test the flaming thing out. :P
Let's just say that the Outlook sync requirements make things very
difficult and I'm beginning to get a wee bit discouraged.
Peace favor your sword
