I'm a Windows System Admin, but I'm trying to learn linux in order to start analysing the possibility of migrating to Linux.

By the way, anyone can tell me a good Mail Server to replace Microsoft Exchange? ### SLOX I think is superb, but there is a free alternative in Open Groupware http://www.opengroupware.org that uses skyrix rather than comfire. Theres a live evaluation CD available for download based off knoppix - only in German ATM. The binary RPM's or Debs are available in English and German, with other languages popping up all the time. Thanks for your help, and sorry for the newbie questions. ### Not to worry, we were all newbies once :-) Best, Ben [1] He's on the list :-)

I know that any client can connect to Exchange as Pop or SMTP, but I haven't been able to find any that is able to conect as an Exchange Client, view Public folders, and have the mails stored in the mailbox, but synchronize them to the laptop, just like it happens with Outlook Offline Files .OST. Can anyone explain to me hoe this can be done?

Try evolution (www.ximian. ...) in combination with the connector as they call it from bynari. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

Funny, but I've just started to tuse Evolution instead of Kmail today. Unfortunately, looks like the connector from Bynari has to be paid. Isn't there any free tool that will do the trick?

Exchange can run an IMAP service. If yours is you can view it with any IMAP client, like Mutt (I think Evolution and kmail also do this.) But you need another free app, mailsync, to make a local copy of your IMAP folders. Another poster recommended not opening the IMAP ports on Exchange. Otherwise Exchange Connector is a non-free tool to connect to a non-free service. That's all I know.

There are 2, if I'm not mistaken, other OSS projects trying to accomplish this. But I don't haver any pointers. You may a start here: http://dot.kde.org/1059167683/ -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

Actual no, starting the disc with env=en and setting the language setting in OGo to En give you a US english version of the Knoppix release version. /ch
