And I'd like world peace, as long as we're taking down requests.
Meanwhile, as we watch the armies clash, here's a comparison of several

Have a look at "Groupware" on http://linuxmafia.com/kb/Mail/
               "Scheduling" on http://linuxmafia.com/kb/Apps/

I could be wrong, but suspect that, if you need an up-to-date
comparative review, you'll probably have to write one.
