RE: [TCLUG:22533] GUI mail client

["Kelly Black" <blackk100@hotmail.com>]

Yes it was/is called HP Openmail.  Installed and ran it.  It is good!  It is 
also a hard one to sell to the higher-ups if you are in a F.U.D. filled 
environment (fear, uncertainty, and doubt)...

It has almost all of the functionality of Exchange (except it does not keep 
the mail in one big database, it splits up the users server storage.)

P.S. I don't work for HP.  I just tried out the product and found its 
command line approach to management under Linux far superior to Exchanges 
click button and check box from the server refreshing.  Lots of command line 
tools (cronable, return errors, can set up mail aliases to do remote admin, 
etc... a good way to go if you ask me!)
