Ditto... that's why Exchange is king...

Now, there is an "Exchange" that runs on Linux, and actually works quite well.  If your folks are using Outlook, Outlook 2003 doesn't even know the difference.

You might also want to check out Novell - they may be working on something, or have a beta already under SuSE.  I believe there were/are some projects on that attempt similar things, but then you likely won't have the PHP/Web side.
