Can Open Source replace Microsoft Exchange?
,----[ Quote ]
| Once upon a time at a NASA space flight center a long way away, I was an
| e-mail administrator. At the time, the 1980s, e-mail was still chaotic. The
| RFC 822 standard was only beginning to bring rhyme and reason to e-mail. One
| of RFC 822's competitors, the Common Messaging Calls (CMC) X.400 standard,
| wasn't making much progress, but then Microsoft adopted it in 1992, added the
| concepts of folders to it, and re-named the result Mail Application
| Programming Interface (MAPI).

| In the meantime, both Jennings and Radicati believe that Google's Gmail and
| the hosted Zimbra Collaboration Suite are more likely to replace Exchange.
| That's because they're not actually replacing Exchange, instead they're
| replacing Outlook with a Web-based e-mail interface. It may not be
| open-source, but software as a service (Saas) that actually ends up replacing
| Outlook/Exchange.
