Exchange will come with a hefty price tag... I'm not sure on conversion rates but I think it's around $900 for the actual software and then you'll need a CAL (Client Access License) for each user, although the software does come with 5 included.

Then of course you'll need a server, and Exchange 2007 only runs on 64bit and it'll need 8 Gb memory for <100 mailboxes.

That said, Exchange will offer a lot of functionality.


Instead of Exchange there is MDaemon. We use this in one of our remote offices that is <10 people as it works out cheaper than Exchange.
When you configure this correctly, you can then share calendars and contacts etc.


Remember, Outlook is just a front to an email server system. As long as that system allows for sharing of information then Outlook will be able to.

Welcome to a programmer's world in small businesses!!
You programme it to do one thing, then the users will want something else...then something else... then something else
