Messaging system & support




Hello all,

I got this message from a friend.

Any ideas?  Specifically:
  - What other products offer built-in (or nearly built-in) Calendaring?
  - Any opinions on SLOX?
  - Is there any reason not to use Exchange?
  - What other questions should my friend be asking?

Regards,
