Hi All,

Currently we have a Qmail server running our mail of course, Spamassasin ,
Anti-virus protection, etc. We have a mix of Outlook and Thunderbird clients
pointing to this Qmail server.

Wanted to purchase Exchange server 2003 to handle Calendering/Scheduling
needs only, and we would like is to keep our existing Qmail server for our
email.

Please advise!

Much appreciated,
Luc

I don't know anything about Qmail server but to get this to work with both
mail systems, you will most likely have to setup each user with an Exchange
2003 mailbox then in Outlook have them setup a POP3 account to your Qmail
server to collect their mail. Since your Exchange 2003 CAL's include
Outlook 2003 I assume you will be replacing all mail clients with Outlook
2003. I would personally suggest if you are going to be using Groupware
features in Exchange 2003 to migrate all mail to Exchange. Since you are
basically paying for it anyways, why not take advantage of everything
Exchange 2003 has to offer like, RPC over HTTPs, Activesync with WM5
devices, OWA, OMA, Public Folders, etc. to name a few.

Hi John,

Thank you for your advice. I agreed with you totally with regards to
migrating our existing Qmail server to Exchange, but at this point the
Management has not approved of this project.

Thanks again,
Luc
