eGroupWare - The exchange replacment? (Was OT:Exchange good?)

[Bryan O'Neal]

I am looking at eGroupWare http://www.egroupware.org
<https://www.egroupware.de/demo16/felamimail/index.php> 
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.

Other then Google apps? No.  I too would love to know. 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 :)
