We are playing with phpgroupware at the office and it's good, though I think it expects a rather rigid format for addresses and so on. But to be fair I've only very briefly played with importing data into it. On Thu, 4 Oct 2001, Gary Stainburn wrote:
Hi Matt,
I've only just started evaluating this myself, and it's nothing like Outlook (It's web based), but have a look at http://www.phpgroupware.org.
It's still in Beta, but the mail modules seem to be pretty stable. Some of the extension modules are a bit flakey, like the comic section, and the phone logger needs bringing up to date.
My initial impressions are pretty upbeat, and I may be piloting it here soon. Also, I believe I saw some mention of it importing outlook files.

Hi folks,
We already have Outlook 97 installed across our network. We don't use it at all. The management here is asking me to provide a solution for collaboration. Streamlining communication and the like. Now, I don't know an awful lot about this, but can Outlook 97 connect to a diary collaboration server other than MS Exchange? In other words, how do I (can I?) set up a Linux box to do the server side?
Does StarOffice have some server with it? Can I connect Outlook to it?
BTW - I just bought the Linux Cookbook, and for a newbie like me, it is superb. Just started writing some simple scripts to automate jobs. Michael Brown got me started with his 'how to copy to all home directories' doohicky. Now I understand just how flexible and simple Linux is. I've gone from:
But it's all configured with text files :(

Grep! And you can pipe it too? Heheheh. It suddenly all just clicks! Remember the buzz when you started to learn about pipes, and how to link commands to do flash stuff? Well that's me!
Thanks, as always, for you thoughts and comments.
