Exchange servers, with Web-based access and what could, in
due time, become 'Outlook Live', are still in the game.
However, speaking from experience, they poorly integrate
with whatever resists Microsoft and its agenda.
Zimbra, which I first experienced in its beta phase a long
time ago, is aimed at moving /everything/ to the Web (or
intranet), rather than provide some native interfaces (like
Windows is intended to do, even for Hotmail/MSN). I quite
like the Brushed look in Zimbra, though at times it seems
like an OS X ripoof, unless Apple nicked/inherited it from
elsewhere (I think GNOME and Enlightenment had it before,
when I used it in 2001-2003).
