That's what I mean by barely.  Every other system, including things like
google, can talk to the standard mac mail app.  The fact that I have to
put a specific, other piece of software, to manage my email, differently
than all the other email I have ... that is not "Cross Platform
compatible" by any stretch of the imagination.  I won't even mention
that it's a closed app, written by the same company that puts out the
"cross platform" server you are touting, to begin with.  That doesn't
read "cross platform" to me, by any stretch of the imagination.

And I have to run several different versions of it for the different
Exchange versions, EWS 2008 only works with Exchange 2007SP1 Rollup 4,
or later ... not anything earlier, and webDAV is not activated on the
servers, because it is a GAPING security hole, and a whole bunch of SANS
bugs have been filed over Exchange and webDAV.

-dkap wondering if he is even speaking the same language.
