Open Exchange by SuSE. http://www.suse.com/us/business/products/openexchange/index.html Have a good day Neal http://www.susehelp.com -----Original Message----- From: Thinker [mailto:thinker@thoughtprogress.com] Sent: Monday, August 16, 2004 3:12 PM To: SuSE List Subject: [SLE] Email, Calendar, Scheduling, Address Book, synchronization (without Outlook) Hello All, I have a client with 5 machines/users on a peer to peer network. The only network resource they share is access to the Internet. About an hour ago, he asked me to help him set up email addresses for the 5 people in the office. He visited a friend that has an exchange server and all of the employees are using outlook. He asked me if I could set his office up the same way. After going over the potential security risks associated with using Exchange and Outlook, I think I finally have him convinced that Outlook/Exchange is a bad idea. He is now giving me the opportunity to come up with more secure alternatives. This is where I need the help. He wants to be able to open the program or website and schedule a meeting with the people that he needs to attend. Those people should in turn receive an email (or whatever notice possible) stating the meeting has been scheduled, who scheduled it and should be allowed to confirm that they will be there. There should be a universal address book that allows you to associate birthdays and anniversaries with contacts and those birthdays and anniversaries should show up on the calendar. They already have PCs or laptops which are either running Windows XP or Windows 2000. They have a spare machine that I could install Linux on if need be, but the users will still have to run Windows on their machines. If there is a web based solution for all of this, they can get the web space if needed. The main thing is, he wants to be able to sync all of this with his Handspring Treo. Is there such an animal? .:Thinker -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
