[-- Attachment #1 --] RE: M$ Exchange Server SupportHas anyone looked at intrastore yet not bad not quite but very good (free to 250 user for linux) http://intrastore.cdc.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Bartlett To: 'Scott Brim' ; 'Alejandro Ramirez' Cc: 'Windsor Match Plate and Tool Ltd.' ; 'freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG' Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2000 10:29 AM Subject: RE: M$ Exchange Server Support Scott, Our office lives on Outlook, shared calendars, tasks, venue bookings etc... all NT Workstation, NT Servers blah blah blah Personlly I run two linux boxes @ home and 1 bsd box and have a linux box on my desk at the office and three BSD servers for apache/php development, and I've basically made it my life's mission to either replace Exchange Server on the Server or run an exchange server and find some unix-type Outlook client that will suit our needs, and unfortunately I've found nothing nothing nothing! Thinks like joydesk and so on are amateur products that have no polishing and your average idiot user just cant grok the interface or the useability. Thats clearly why linux hasn't got the market penetration we all want it to have, because the software still needs years of work to get to a point where Joe Bloggs and his wife can click click click and make a shared appointment for sex in evening. I've never seen GOOD office productivity tools on any unix system, ever - and until that day I reckon you and I are going to have to continue running Exchange & Outlook until either all the stupid users on the planet get nuked or until Sun and Corel get something better out there (I reckon they are the only developers who have had SERIOUS end user experience). Sorry. bad mood everyone ;) But... if you do manage to find something, give little ol me a shout! .mike -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Scott Brim Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2000 1:03 AM To: Alejandro Ramirez Cc: Windsor Match Plate and Tool Ltd.; freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: RE: M$ Exchange Server Support That's not the point (for me, anyway). Some of us need to work with people who are stuck using MS Outlook and Exchange servers, and we need to interact with them. Thanks ...
