These two steps can allow a programmer or a seasoned administrator to create an alternative service provider for Outlook and serve a number of conventional mail clients. Linux mail servers do not discriminate based on the platform one uses. One can use Netscape Mail, Outlook Express, Ximian Evolution, mutt or Pine, to mention a few of the available MUA. celebrex 200 mg

"Microsoft Outlook the most stable software"
I can not disagree more. I am not sure how much email you receive everyday.. My MS Outlook crashes all the time.. I lose my emails all of a sudden.. I do not also use MS Exchange and recommend it..

Thanks

Funny how things are... I've been using Outlook for (at least) 10 years now. Without a single "hard crash" as you say, *never* lost any email, *never* had a reason to change. In the (few) times it began to crash from time to time, the reason always was some other software installation that turned it unstable. But it can happen with any other windows software.
In time: except for the extremely high cost, I use (also for several years now) and recommend MS Exchange Server. Having a good (and simple-tasks-based maintenance) you can run it for years with no complaints.

Take a look at the Exchange alternative Zarafa (www.zarafa.com). This product has a native MAPI implementation on your Linux server and even support for advanced Exchange features, like Freebusy times, Global Address Book and full TNEF support.

The best thing of the product is the AJAX based webaccess, which is completely in the Outlook "Look & Feel". See demo.zarafa.com.

Awesome work. Thanks for

I am a windows developer and worked primarily on windows. I still support linux and love it. I have just thrown windows out of my home computer (will love to do this at work when time comes). I am more than impressed by this effort. Keep up the good work.

Microsoft is doomed!

I am so happy to see efforts like this. I wish for Microsoft to lose their stronghold in the marketplace as soon as possible because diversity in choice of Operating Systems means better security for everyone. Replacement of Microsoft's product lines, one by one, is a truly wonderful move in this direction.

Thanks.

what a waste of time... So have you kept up with Exchange 2007?

I thought not. This is a pointless excercise... How many programmer for how many
years will it take to keep up with Exchange? It would cost you a couple hundred grand
to keep up and you still couldnt handle it. Programmers arent cheap.

Exchange has competitors but they stink and exchange is cheap.

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
