Solutions like Zimbra and Scalix involve installing MAPI connectors on the
Outlook side. People don't like that solution.
Between these two, I'd recommend Scalix as it has far richer server
side controls. IMHO, better suited for enterprise implementation while
will not make much of a difference for a retail user site. For a
retail user site, I feel Zimbra is better as it has better knobs for
the user.
I agree. For me the choice is very simple. Scalix is written in C and Zimbra
in Java.
I tried Zarafa and got it work. Sorry I forgot to mention that. That is another
alternative too. It is also written in C.
But once again, it involves connectors.
I like Zarafa best. Though once OpenChange matures all this will become
irrelevant and it will kill Zarafa's commercial advantage I think.
Moreover Zimbra is more of a heavyweight mail solution that is popular and
I wonder why.
