I was at the OSBC in San Francisco this week and saw Scalix (they had a brief \
presentation). They have a really nice Javascript-based web interface, Outlook \
compatability, an Evolution plugin, if that matters to you, and a mobile phone \
client. http://www.scalix.com/ .
The webmail product is pretty much like Outlook (all EMCA/DHTML so no time to load \
pages). (Much like the new Yahoo Mail Beta interface). The "free" "Community \
Edition" may even work for you ("small company") - see \
http://www.scalix.com/products/compareeditions.html .
Ciao,
Dre

yes, right now if you are running windows outlook is about the only serious
option for groupware clients. good reason to get off of windows, isn't it?

now you're throwing baby out with bath water. if you install exchange, you'll
need to use outlook. why not instead use kolab+outlook?

there is. unfortunately you've made it difficult by not leaving windows behind
but simultaneously saying you won't use outlook. if you use outlook, then
there are several server side options such as kolab (open source) and scalix
(closed source, runs on linux, a fork of HP's old openmail)
