I think the point is that no groupware product has all the bases covered
- not even Exchange. Exchange has a very desirable feature set but it is
a client lock-in product. Outlook is the client. When you use other
clients such as Entourage or Evolution, you get limited functionality.
When you use other clients, you probably get no functionality beyond
IMAP or POP3 (if that is enabled).
