Description : Open Workgroup Data Exchange Server
in short: an Exchange replacement.
"N&H received more and more customer requests asking for a
indepedent workgroup server solution running under LINUX, but
using MS-Outook(TM) as the Client on the MS-Windows(TM) Desktop
for use with shared calendars and task lists etc. and not limited
to e-mail. MS-Outlook(TM) uses a MAPI Service Provider to store
workgroup data centraly in MS-Exchange(TM) database or other 3rd
party messaging servers. Based on this, N&H decided to start an
internal project that implements a storage server that can run
on LINUX where different workgroup clients and other applications
can exchange workgroup data. BILL is now under the GNU public licence."
