Hi,

that is like microsoft exchange(Mail, Calendar, and contacts). The
whole suite not just the mail server.

Do you know SOGo[1] (Scalable Open Groupware)? SOGo provides mail,
addressbook, and calendar and reuses your infraestructure (mail server,
ldap or database, imap server), also use a database for store calendars
and task. The builtin web interface is proxied behind a web server
(Apache or Nginx) and supports a wide variety of clientes (Thunderbird
with Lightning using two aditional extensions) and in the version 2.0
(using openchange) add native support to Outlook/Exchange MAPI protocol
to access SOGo groupware without using connectors.
As its name tells SOGo is scalable, you can distribute your users across
mutiples db's with multiple SOGo backends.
Native acces to calendar through iphone also is possible and using
Funambol in other mobile devices.
Unlike Zimbra that is too monolithic, SOGo is modular and reuse your
mail and authentication infraestructure.
SOGo provides packages for Debian Squeeze and Wheezy
