tahir pooh-bah Registered: 27/02/2004 Posts: 1914 Loc: London	Has anyone got experience of Open Xchange ? We need to move away from NT4.0 at work, thought it might be a good time to move our Exchange Server to a different platform

I suppose the only features that they really use are the calendar/task manager and address book. Is there another option? The Mozilla calendar/address books aren't anywhere near as good.

SharePoint unfortunately does not allow Outlook to make changes to the webmail calendar. You can only make changes in webmail and have them reflected in Outlook."

The setup/migration took longer than anticipated but the Exchange server was running alongside all the time so no issues for our users.
