  2. Can sync (sort of) with exchange by also-rr · · Score: 4, Informative

    If you are dedicated it's possible to pull your appointments from an exchange server, covert to iCal, and then import them into Sunbird.

    I still prefer KOrganiser, not least because it has an exchange plug in. Integration with the mail client is also better in my opinion.

    In fact Kontact is overall a fantastic piece of software. My only gripe is the fact that it's handling of IMAP mailboxes is horrific, but I believe that is slated for a total revamp in KDE4.

  3. I'm Sorry by Slashdot+Parent · · Score: 4, Informative

    I'm sorry to report that Thunderbird/Sunbird is nowhere near ready to replace Exchange. Depending on your needs, it might be a good fit though.

    I'd say download it and try it out. If it's too basic for your needs, and it probably is, then look at some of the open source groupware packages.

    There's some neat open source groupware out there.

    Maybe we could call it SeaMonkey or something... Hmm...

    I know you know this exists, but it's polite to include a URL when you're sassing someone who doesn't. ;)
