you are prepared to pony $50+ for the connectors, and btw, these
connectors do *NOT* provide a full mapi backend, just a sync
facility. Citadel is back on the border despite being probably the
most competant server out there but clientless (except for aethera).
But Aethera is still stuck in the stone age. Evolution is still
strictly linux/bsd. chandler is still a joke. the connectors all
suck. Sun seems to of given up on ever getting glow to work (The web
page at sun still says 0.2 alpha will be out reaaal soon now late
2003 or something , but probably not that) and ah man. what a mess!

On the client side, I find Kontact to be one of the most competent but
frequently overlooked solutions (keeping in mind, of course, that
everyone has different requirements). It supports both Kolab and
Citadel as well as a bunch of others, including partial support (as in
"it kinda works", not as in making official endorsements) for MS
Exchange.
Kontact reportedly runs under Cygwin, and Klarälvdalens Datakonsult is
working on a proper port for legacy MS Windows.

There are even a variety of clients available for MS and MAC platforms.

Would be interested to hear what the comunity thinks of this solution.
I will post the name of this solution if it comes to me.
I would do a search but 32k dialup connections are WAY TO SLOW!!!!!
