This is a list for discussion about OpenGroupware;  the
OpenGroupware.Org groupware server - http://www.opengroupware.org
OpenGroupware is a competitor/replacement for M$-Exchange/M$-Sharepoint.

Since you are not using OpenGroupware.... this list isn't going to be
very helpful.  Perhaps you should try  some of the resources
specifically for the Novell Evolution -
