8 CraigBox 1 MicrosoftExchange is the MicrosoftCorporation mail/collaboration/groupware system. It supports access through [IMAP], [POP3], [NNTP], [SMTP], its own proprietary MAPI protocol, and a webmail client (OWA, Outlook Web Access) which can be accessed both directly by a WebBrowser and by other programs, by means of a [DAV] interface. The latter is used by [Ximian]'s commercial connector for [Evolution] to provide native access to Exchange. This is handy if the Exchange SysAdmin has disabled the internet protocols, or if you want to use Exchange's calendaring under [Linux].

8 CraigBox 3 [DBMail] is a project to eventually build a OpenSource Exchange workalike. In the meantime, there are several HOWTOs on the web describing how to implement similar services to Exchange (shared calendaring, resource management etc).

8 CraigBox 5 Microsoft Exchange has built a notoriety for losing data -- and since it stores its data in a binary database, disaster recovery is particularly fun.
