And, a year later, the story remains the same
We're using Scalix in anger, and have been for some time. It works nicely with web client or Outlook. But once you move away from that pair...
Thunderbird (via IMAP only) works well for mail, but there's still no bi-directional link to Sunbird (although 11.3 later this month promises WebCAL bi-di calendar support).
Evolution (via Scalix client) is, again, mail only.
The sync to pda/phone is still the killer - unless you're happy using Outlook... Gah! The whole SyncML mess is just plain depressing. If it works at all, it's dog slow.
C'mon, guys, this isn't rocket science! Let's do it and do it WELL...
