If you are not bothered about sharing calendars and Tasks (which I
presume you are not), there are several free mail servers out there.
Here's one:

PST on Server

In ups.com,
typed:
Yep.....I use folder redirection for my clients, esp. those with
roaming profiles. You really do not want a large profile.....you
will have corruption at some point.

Yes. We have corruption at times. This is a valid point. We do have
to run the PST Scan from time to time. But it is worth it to be able
to backup the PST files from the server via "previous version"
snapshots.

I try to keep my clients' profiles under about
30MB. And I don't think PST files are suitable for a business large
enough to have a domain!

What would you use? We have a POP3 server. Exchange is over
$70,000 for our license count. Exchange brings nothing to the table
that is worth $70,000 to us. We are looking at IMAP servers. Other
ideas?

If your users' email data is important to your company, you need something
that can centrally store & manage it. PST files will not let you do this.
IMAP would be a better choice, indeed....but it won't do anything besides
e-mail, such as calendars/contacts/etc.

I know Exchange isn't cheap - but how much is your data worth? Remember that
data in a PST file takes up more space than it would if it were in an
Exchange database (single instance storage), for one thing. There are other
groupware products - some are open source. Much depends on your hardware,
infrastructure, tech support, and so forth.
