But, it would be nice if I could get at my email when I'm running SuSE w/o rebooting into WXP, and even nicer if I could use all those little 'extras' that the Outlook users have access to. So, does anyone know a good, proven Open-Source alternative to Outlook that can do what Outlook does?
Couple of ideas.
What version of Exchange? If it is 5.5, you're only options - I think - are to use outlook web access, if your company has that setup. (I use this often) or to put Outlook on your laptop. (I have Outlook XP on my home desktop for when I connect via VPN to my corporate network.) You can use WINE/Crossover Office or even VMWare for this second option.
Not sure what version of Exchange they're running, and I'm not entirely certain how to find out. I have to be careful about asking questions. Sigh...
If you have Exchange 2000 or newer then you could do either of the above options or use Evolution, which comes with SuSE. Ximian Evolution has an exchange connector, which I've heard is very good and provides seamless integration. Not sure how the authentication works. but I'm sure that's covered.
I'll have to try that and see what happens. Trying Ximian directly across the intranet, trying every available server-type, got me nowhere.
