Let’s evaluate two MS Exchange replacement segments:
- the growing market where opensource php mail/calendring apps are migrated to advanced licensed apps like Zimbra (see also Radicati research)
- the direct Exchange on Linux replacement market where systemadmins will make sure outlook sharing is stable and done the MS-’mapi’ way, see scalix(http://www.scalix.com) and Zarafa (http://www.zarafa.com).

Zimbra is an amazingly effective and graceful cross-platform solution for business collaboration.

We (Amicus, Inc.) liked it so much we put it to use internally. We liked that so much, we became one of the first 5 Zimbra Hosting Partners and are now offerring ‘Amicus Envoy with Zimbra Inside,’ which simple is the Zimbra Collaboration Suite with optional, integrated archive and regulatory compliance solutions. If you want to try the product out in action, check us out for a 30 day demo account.

Thunderbird is nice, but it does not offer a full Outlook replacement. And yes, that IS what I am looking for at this firm.

I need a single-software solution for e-mail, calendar (so I can see my and other’s appointments), etc. that standardizes my organization’s software (I am the ONLY IT guy, and I don’t want to learn every e-mail client, every calendar, etc.).

Zimbra looks good, and I will be looking at it unless Evolution for Windows gets finished soon.

You write:

Ximian had an open source email client that could connect with Exchange servers, was popular with Linux fans but how has it done?

Consider Thunderbird from mozilla.org. Thunderbird connects to Exchange servers and even corporate address books (via the LDAP protocol). Plus as a Mozilla release, Thunderbird works well with Firefox. As an open source product, Thunderbird has an API that anyone can play with and there are already lots of extensions available.

Actually, one can never say.
At certain threshold, triggered by complex factors, faster broadband internet, the dicotomy and difference between local box based mail clients or remote online server based clients will erase. At this point, Outlook will just loose its importance. Ofcourse security and corporate adaptability are huge stakes to tip the scales. Just my point
