I am looking for the same thing. I 've tried Binary Insight server (
www.bynari.com ) . I think it's good for small systems. One of my customers
is using it. It was good when they started with small number of users, but
now I think it does not scale well when the number of share folders and
emails increases. They are working on a new verson 3.0, beta at this time. I
've not tried it yet.

I also tried Suse's OpenExchage ( now of Novell ). It seems nice, but the
connector for Outlook seems having problem with Outlook 2003. I tried it
with Outlook 2003 and met some problems, made a google search and found some
other people having similar problems. One of the recent articles says that
NetLine will release a new version of OpenExchange this March with big
improvements and the new version can run other some other Linux distros
also. Currently OpenExchange 4.1 can only run on Suse Server 8. I really am
anxious to try the new one.

I am trying Groupware 6.5 right now. Just downloaded their eval versions,
and am installing into my RHES 3 under Vmware into my notebook :-)
