eMail Softwares

[gkiran]

Hi All,
We are using IBM Lotus Domino eMail solution in our organization. We have around 800 clients. To cut down costs, we are looking for alternatives to IBM's Domino server. One such eMail software I came across is: Citadel, which is Open Source. How to get it ? Just downloading & installing will not do, as we dont have the expertise to administer Citadel. Is there any agency which puts its brand name and sells it ? Do they provide technical support to Citadel ?

Any idea about Squirrel ?

The email solution should work on Windows OS server and Windows XP clients. Please help me.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Gary. Are there any such open source email solutions, which can be installed on a Windows machine ?

I am looking for email software for emailing, with address book facility.
Hosting will be done internally, on our hardware.

sorry missed your thread

Why you wanna go for internal hosting?
Internal Hosting is not recommended unless you are a Big organisation.
for small scale business, you are better off with Google apps. its standard edition is Free to use and you can have upto 100accounts. if you need more there is paid edition available.
The same i am using with my Site. no problems till now.

If you still want Internal hosting, then Install Squirrel mail on Cent OS.

though our organization is relatively small, we already have an email domain registered, and hence cannot migrate to Google apps.

Cent OS ?

We can have upto 1000 email accounts each with 7gb space for FREE. when signing up, in the place where it asks for organisation size enter 1000.
Google Apps would be the best option.If you need more accounts you can get Paid option.
