The Samsung Contact server provides what is almost a full replacement for MS Exchange Server and will (once ITEF finishes the open 'calendar spec') work with all the more common Linux email clients and web browsers. This is a proprietary, drop-in alternative to MS Exchange Server (and is also used by many Fortune 500 companies). Samsung Contact (Formerly Known As HP OpenMail)

The CommuniGate Pro MAPI Connector provides access to the server from MS Outlook and other MAPI-enabled clients. CommuniGate ProĬommuniGate Pro is a proprietary, drop-in alternative to MS Exchange Server, providing, email, webmail, LDAP directories, a web server, file server, contacts, calendaring (third-party), and a list server. The home page for the Microsoft Exchange server is.

If you consider what MS Exchange offers as the 'full' set of features, no other replacement offers 100% of the features exactly as provided by MS Exchange Server even those considered 'drop-in' replacements. They offer a proprietary server providing email, contacts, scheduling, public folders, task lists, journaling, and notes using MS Outlook as the client and MAPI as the API. Microsoft Exchange Server/Outlook ClientĮxchange Server and Outlook seem to be the industry benchmark because of their widespread deployment. None of these servers are provided with Fedora. The following sections examine several of the available servers, beginning with MS Exchange Server itself and moving toward those applications that have increasing incompatibility with it. Of course, independent applications for these functions abound in the open-ource world, but one characteristic of 'groupware' is its central administration another is that all components can share information. For Linux-only solutions, the missing ingredient for many alternatives is a usable group calendaring/scheduling system similar in function to that provided by Exchange Server/Outlook. That goal is going to be difficult to achieve because MAPI is a poorly documented Microsoft protocol. For Outlook compatibility, the key seems to be the realization of a full, open implementation of MAPI, Microsoft's Messaging Application Program Interface. There are several 'drop-in' alternatives, none of which are fully open source because some type of proprietary connector is needed to provide the services to MS Outlook clients (or provide Exchange services to the Linux Evolution client). A 'work-alike' alternative provides similar features to Exchange Server, but does not offer compatibility with the MS Outlook client itself the latter is typical of many of the open-ource alternatives.

General industry complaints about Exchange Server center around scalability, administration (backup and restore in particular), and licensing fees.Ī 'drop-in' alternative needs to have compatibility with MS Outlook because it's intended to replace Exchange Server in an environment in which there are Microsoft desktops in existence using Outlook. Many businesses use MS Outlook and MS Exchange Server to access email, as well as to provide calendaring, notes, file sharing, and other collaborative functions.

One of the last areas in which a Microsoft product has yet to be usurped by Open Source software is a replacement for MS Exchange Server.
