HP sold their OpenMail server to Samsung.  This server product does all that
a Microsoft Exchange server does, at a fraction of the cost, and with much
higher security an reliability running on Unix platforms.

When Hewlett-Packard announced last year that it was discontinuing
development of OpenMail, its popular electronic-mail and messaging
application, there was a outcry from Linux system administrators, as
OpenMail was one of the most popular tools for managing corporate email on
the Linux platform.

So instead of killing OpenMail outright, Hewlett-Packard went to the
extraordinary step of seeking a buyer for OpenMail, so the product would
continue to be maintained. As a result, Samsung licensed OpenMail and is now
offering it under the Samsung Contact 7.1 moniker, with Linux, HP-UX,
Solaris and AIX versions.

According to Samsung, a key reason to adopt Samsung Contact is its support
of Microsoft Outlook, both on the server and client sides. Samsung Contact
on a server directly supports most features needed by the Microsoft Outlook
Windows-based desktop client, including calendaring, scheduling, delegation
and offline synchronisation.
