I'm not sure what you were referencing with the generic "Groupware" that you mentioned. It's clear that you have little knowledge of this technology and may want to spend some time learning about it before making blanket statements about it. My biggest concern is that you don't miss lead someone else on this list. GroupWise is superior to Exchange in almost every aspect. You would only know this if you had to mange both of these tools in the real world. As a straight mail server/"messaging server" Exchange in any version doesn't hold a candle to the available *nix bases solutions. Exchange has it's place with out a doubt, but please don't try to wave the Exchange flag to someone that knows better. --Nick On Sat, 19 Mar 2005 09:09:42 +0100, Anthony Atkielski wrote: > Nick Pavlica writes: > > > I have had excellent results with Novell GroupWise. > > Groupware is fine if you need other functions more than e-mail, but for > an organization interested primarily or exclusively in messaging, > Exchange is the best choice. > > For example, Lotus Notes (like Groupwise, IIRC) is primarily a data > manager with a few messaging functions.
