If you want something compatible with outlook, you may want to take a look at bynari Insight Connector. With this outlook plugin, you can replace an exchange server with a standard IMAP server and keep most features of outlook in exchange more.

The soft is not overpriced and it is compatible with Courier IMAP.

That's what I heard initially, but then someone claimed that Insight Connector needs IMAP ACL support, which is not supported by Courier.

So, if anyone's going to try this stuff with Courier they better get good assurances from Bynari.

IMAP ACL support is required so let outlook users define how their private folders can be accessed by other users. Everything else is standard IMAP and does not require ACL support. Namely, shared calendars etc. can easily be setup as shared maildir folders and be fully functional. It is a matter of saying 'the users control access' (i.e. IMAP ACL is needed) or 'the administrator controls access' (no ACL support needed).

If you want to have IMAP ACL support, the Cyrus IMAP server can provide that (but this becomes off topic for this list).
