SuSE's OpenExchange and Windows Integration?

enrico_suave asks: "I work for a small-ish Non Profit Organization (less than 20 users) who would like to utilize 'groupware' (calendaring/contacts/etc) sharing software but aren't in a position to spend large amounts of cash on Microsoft Exchange Server. We currently use Outlook 2000's kludgey Net Folders which is often more trouble than it's worth. I've been looking at SuSE Linux's OpenExchange Server as a low cost groupware alternative, and wanted to know if anybody has used this package in a similar setting. A previous Slashdot article was more of an announcement, than a hands on review, and most of the reviews I've seen don't seem very objective or don't delve deep enough into details/practical usage. Has anyone used SuSE's OpenExchange in a primarily Windows shop with Outlook as the desktop mail/groupware client? How is the Outlook integration?"

You're not alone in this search.

I'm looking for the same thing. Not for profit company with under 10 employees that won't settle for some hacked together email/calendaring program. They'll pay a little money for a full featured suite but the 2 main people are against MS Exchange because they really aren't even happy with the Win2k server that they are using. They want to go opensource and are looking to me to make it happen. I just don't have the confidence to put something together for them that I can't guarantee will work. That is why I want a complete solution.
