That too is in need of a bit of an update,  it'll have a couple more =20
chapters soon.

Yep, a colleage of mine looked at Zimbra.  It is very "black box";  =20
but the interface is pretty cool (although I wonder if the =20
everything-is-my-inbox model might get annoying with time).

We have a large Cyrus IMAPd server and an intricate sendmail/LDAP =20
configuration (13 companies all share the same resources) so something =20
taking over the entirety of mail would be pretty much a show stopper.

That and Zimbra lacks what every other Open Source 'groupware' =20
solution lacks: an API.  You can't automate the import/export of data =20
or integrate with most of the existing alternatives in any =20
straight-forward way.

See the mission statement:
"Mission: To create, as a community, the leading open source groupware =20
server to integrate with the leading open source office suite products =20
and all the leading groupware clients running across all major =20
platforms, and to provide access to all functionality and data through =20
open XML-based interfaces and APIs"

For us it actually came down to between Domino and OGo.
