moin, moin, OK, we've got a lot of different options available for doing mail and calendaring together ( still not necessarily a good idea ) at this point. We've got the newly released Ximean Connector, http://www.infoanarchy.org/story/2002/5/1/64850/34022, which allows Evolution to use eXpunge for calendaring as well as for email. Does it work other server products? What about Evolution in general? Bynari has their InsightConnector, http://www.Bynari.net/bynari/insightcon.html, which allows LookOut to use *NIX servers for services. This would be killer if Evolution and other *NIX mail/calendar client combos could also use the same mail/calendar/LDAP services. There's also Prochange, http://www.Prochange.org/, which is proposed to be a replacement for eXpunge, though it mentions Lotus Notes. Bynari also has an eXpunge replacement, InsightServer, http://www.bynari.net/bynari/insightstd.html. I've seen phpgroupware, http://www.phpgroupware.org/, do some good stuff, but don't know about it becoming the server side for non-web clients. Star/Open Office can also serve as mail/calendar client. How does it work as a replacement for monopolyware? Can it work with a calendar server? Actually, Open Office might not have the calendaring if I remember correctly. Not all of the above are Free Software :(, but it's a start to break the monopoly. Anyone use any of these as LookOut/eXpunge replacements? ciao, der.hans -- # https://www.LuftHans.com/ # It's up to the reader to make the book interesting. # An author has only the opportunity to make it uninteresting. - der.hans
