It can do a very similar thing using these programs : (I think that IMAP is the \
"service" you are after)

OpenLDAP - http://www.openldap.org/
qmail-1.03 - http://www.qmail.org/
qmail-ldap-1.03-20020501a http://www.nrg4u.com/
Courier-IMAP - http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/

If you wanted the webmail you could also try :

SquirrelMail http://www.squirrelmail.org/
SqWebMail http://www.inter7.com/sqwebmail/

Finally add a virus checker and voila - a nice setup :)

Read http://www.lifewithqmail.org

then read http://www.lifewithqmail.org/ldap/

Install and your good to go.

You can also point you address book to the ldap to use as a central address book.

The only thing that you are going to be missing is diary functions such as meeting \
invitation etc. I know there is a product that back ends onto a  MySQL/PostgreSQL \
database, but I can't find the page I read about it on.

Oh.. you won't have the crashes/viruses/slowness/bloat and security risks of a 
badly administrated Exchange server. A "normal" install of qmail pretty much 
runs itself :)
