Well, I finally had to bite the bullet and install open-xchange.  I quizzed 
the Novell geeks at Linuxworld quite a bit about it and it has been on my 
list of things to give a look at.....and your question made me do it.  
Nice....  But not for the faint of heart to setup and get running.....  
Definitely not a 'drop in'.  I set it up on a Red Hat 9 box.

I have both opengroupware (OGO) and open-xchange (OX) web interfaces running 
side by side if anyone wants to give them a whirl.  I can mail you a test 
login and password.

OX uses alot of services to fulfill its duties, Apache, Java, Tomcat, IMAP, 
SMTP, amavisd-new, ClamAV, PostgreSQL, LDAP, WebDav, plus you can add Samba 
to make those doze client's just as happy as they want to be for file and 
print serving.

Quite a piece of work on both projects.  OGO is nearing version 1 release, I 
installed a 1.0 alpha while OX is at 0.7.5.
