RE: [MLUG] Drop-in MS Exchange replacement

Because then every one uses the same thing. We used to use meeting maker, and it was kind of a pain. Every one wants one nice pretty program. And it's also the same across the whole University. Until this was mandated, no one used the same calendaring program anywhere around here. Every department was different.

Thanks for that info.  Here's a question:  What good is it to have these
functions integrated into one program?

For example, I use MeetingMaker for meetings, sendmail/pine/procmail for
e-mail, and LDAP for some of my contact information (much is stored in
pine addressbooks).  Meetingmaker can send an e-mail.  Pine can use LDAP
to look up e-mail addresses.  Why would I want all of these to be in one
big program?

I really would like to know about the advantages of integration because I
would like to be able to make sensible recommendations for software
purchases in our division at U Minnesota.
