Take a look at www.zarafa.com

This looks really cool, and I think I might give it a test at work.  I 
have been on again, off again researching a replacement for our Exchange 
2007 server, but a lot of the open source alternatives don't compare 
well with the whole package.

Zarafa looks pretty sweet.  I does calendaring, task lists, contacts, 
e-mail, Blackberry, mobile sync, and has a nice looking webmail.  Cool 
thing is it look to sit on top of your own servers MTA.  It also 
supports Outlook mapi sharing.

Just thought I mention it, as this looks to be the coolest thing I've 
seen in the groupware land ever.

Good Luck.
