Open Source Outlook and Exchange Alternative (for Calendar and Tasks)
- by Elmar Weber
We're using an Exchange Server and Outlook in a private context. Since Exchange is getting more and more of a monster to maintain and is basically the only thing running on a Windows VM Server, I'm looking for an alternative with the following properties:
Server based back-end that that can be installed / deployed on my machine and is not dependent on any third party services (e.g. Google Calendar).
(Easy) import of existing Outlook calendars, either via some feature of Exchange or by ex- and importing from Outlook.
Roughly the basic features of the Outlook calendar (categorizations, series, etc)
Synchronization with the iPhone over wireless without a hitch (e.g. double or missing entries)
Any recommendations?
