I am looking at eGroupWare http://www.egroupware.org It looks very good but I have not done much beyond browse their site yet. Any one use this? It looks like it could be the exchange replacement we are looking for. _____ From: plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us [mailto:plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us] On Behalf Of JD Austin Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2009 10:11 PM To: Main PLUG discussion list Subject: Re: OT:Exchange good? - And the flame wars begin (Was:Re:newhotness?)

Their are some issues with Google apps, such as the fact that I can not get contact syncing working with a desktop client. I have tried a number of products like GCalD but have not been able to get them to work with a Google apps account. However, if you can stand using the web client and add the task function it is close enough for a number of people. Google apps calendar syncs with lighting (mozilla calendar), outlook, and windows mobile using active sync (probably more). It also syncs contacts on windows mobile and a few other things. It didn't used to though. I add a calendar even on my palm treo (windows mobile) and it magically appears on my google calendar.. and vice versa. You can have up to 100 users without paying I believe. I too am an accountant (no really I have degrees in accounting and CIS :) so I understand the lock to the windows world. And trust me accounting products like Peachtree and timberline don't run well in wine. Run them in virtual box or vmware then :) -- JD Austin Twin Geckos Technology Services LLC jd@twingeckos.com 480.288.8195x201 http://www.twingeckos.com Henny Youngman - "When I told my doctor I couldn't afford an operation, he offered to touch-up my X-rays."
