Well, It's like Exchange (server-side) with an equivalent of Outlook Web Access, right? I think that's what the parent is getting at: A web-based email/calendar client along with the server stack, all nice and tidy.

Which is awesome. I will play with this in the weekend.

You might also be interested in SOGo, which does webmail, calendar (web and CalDAV) and contacts (web and CardDAV). Interestingly it's also descended from a groupware suite (OpenGroupware.org), but is more focused on those three things. It can also act as an Exchange server for Outlook in the latest version.

Yes, as I wrote in my first post it has a web-interface. Contrary to owa, this web-interface actually follow wed standards and has full functionality across browsers. However, I wanted to point out that just like with Exchange you have a full groupware server, with a full featured client with the name of Kontact. The web hasn't really taken over yet, very few prefer owa over outlook. Kolab supports both imap and pop3 for mail, it is for calender, scheduling and contacts you need Kontact or plugins (no carddav or caldav yet I believe). Read more about client options here:

Indeed, awesome it is :)
