I have been on again, off again researching a replacement for our Exchange 2007 server, but a lot of the open source alternatives don't compare well with the whole package. Zarafa looks pretty sweet. I does calendaring, task lists, contacts, e-mail, Blackberry, mobile sync, and has a nice looking webmail. Cool thing is it look to sit on top of your own servers MTA. It also supports Outlook mapi sharing. Just thought I mention it, as this looks to be the coolest thing I've seen in the groupware land ever. Good Luck.
