HP's OpenMail: I'm Not Dead Yet
Jon Hill writes "It looks as if HP's OpenMail system is not dead yet and development of the project has been assumed by Samsung's software division. This is great news considering OpenMail was the only serious Unix-based competitor to Microsoft Exchange. Now if only it was strongly marketed and made well known, enterprise administrators such as myself could embrace it." For those of not familiar, essentially OpenMail is the *only* e-mail platform out there, besides Exchange that will support a whole slew of Microsoft Outlook features - something necessary in the enterprise, despite that people should know better.

Users: Do you see them oppressin' me?
(wink wink nudge nudge know what I mean)
Anyone who uses Legato for backups knows exactly what I mean.
One day the Legato interface will be the death of me, I just know it. God forbid they actually perform some usability testing.
