[lug] Exchange Alternative

[Riggs, Rob]

These guys are talking about a client -- an Outlook replacement, not an
Exchange Alternative, as you indicated you were looking for.

This is a Linux group -- they are as confused about difference between
Exchange & Outlook as most Windows users are about the distinction between
MTA and MUA. ;-)

Sorry, I got into this thread late guys.  I'm considering suggesting to
my employer to change platforms- servers only at this time.  The mail
server(s) would have to support in excess of 35,000 mail clients with
~50MB for each client.  The appointment/calender feature is a show
stopper; without this, I have *NO* chance on winning over management. 
Will this tools support this?  Could is possbily be a *complete* M$
exchange server replacement?  Thanks in advance.
