[Fedora-directory-users] Messaging server

Ah, yes 4.x - that became steltor, and is now Oracle Calendar server.  
Yes, it was a nightmare.  5.x and above were actually decent 
architecturally, but were mostly web based only.  Sun has an outlook 
plugin for their latest version of it, that works moderately well, but 
a) you have to use very recently patched versions of Windows and Outlook 
(but not too new), and b) you have to use outlook...

I've been hoping Sun or someone would write sunbird, evolution, etc 
plugins for it, but no luck so far (Sun has plugins for evolution, but 
getting them anywhere but on Sun's JDS desktop seems next to 
impossible).  Without a real fat client, no one is interested in it, and 
no one has enough interest to write a fat client, it seems :)

If that calendar become open source, it might catch on enough to reach 
critical mass.  But...  this is a directory mailing list, so I'll shut 
up about calendar now :)
