[imp] Imp, Turba et al vs. Exchange 2000

[Diego Rivera]

Hi all!

A customer of mine is interested in using IMP/Turba/Horde/etc as their
webmail interface to their exchange server.

They've chosen to NOT go with OWA because it would imply exposing an IIS
box to the internet, and we know how that usually ends :)

Thus, the deal is simple: I know that I can set up IMAP on Exchange to
get mail, but my question is as to the address books.

It's my understanding that the shared (centralized?) AB's are stored in
ActiveDirectory - are they not?  Regardless of whether this is the case,
has anyone tried to get Turba to work with this?

The idea is to lose as little functionality as possible, but use
Horde/Imp/Turba for e-mail.

The reason being that they eventually want to get rid of Exchange (not
now, but later down the road), and not have to switch web interfaces
radically (as in OWA to something else).

I've used Imp/Horde/etc.. for a while and I'm happy with it - so I
recommended it and it is already deployed (on an ancillary mail server
they have).

Any thoughts and/or experiences?

Best
