[plug] IMAP directory services?

[David Griffiths]

Does anyone know of any IMAP clients (mac + pc + optional unix/linux) that
support decent directory services?

We (Dept of Environmental Protection) are looking for an alternative
(server + clients for PC's and macs - unix/linux would be nice too) to
quickmail (proprietry system orginally written for macs) for our
Departmental email services.

I would be interested to hear of open alternatives (SMTP based) - linux
based server software would be a bonus.

Being able to easily select all or a subset of email addresses on the list
as recipients would be really useful.

Are people widely using the ph servers (eg cso/ph server or Eudora Internet
Mail Server) for POP clients or is LDAP more widely used (eg netscape))?

Any views/experiences/comments/flames welcome :-)

thanks in advance,

Dave.
