I'll give my standard answer which is that installing software like this is becoming increasingly niche. Instead, the two best options are Google Apps (which I favor) and Office 365. The only reasons I can think of to not use one of those would be remote locations without always-on Internet or for organizations that feel strongly about open source solutions where they have full control. -Adam -- Kili - Cloud for Africa: kili.io Musings: twitter.com/varud <https://twitter.com/varud> More Musings: varud.com About Adam: www.linkedin.com/in/adamcnelson On Sat, Feb 15, 2014 at 9:00 AM, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com>wrote:
Hi Jimmy,
I believe it all depends on what you want - the features. The last time I used MDaemon is way back, but I have just read the features of the newer versions <http://goo.gl/mRV18P>and I am very impressed. Because most users use Outlook, the real issues you'll be looking at relate to integration with Outlook - thinks like OOO and Calendering, which I believe still require plugins to work with MDaemon. I am still tempted to compare the two SxS<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_mail_servers>, but last time I checked, the only annoyance I had with Exchange was the nature of the message store (or whatever it is called). MDaemon used Maildir format while Exchange used this funny container like Outlook and me being so much pro-OSS, could not stand that obscurity. Everybody who had a problem with Exchange was always talking about the message store!
Okay, I think I am the wrong person to comment about this ranking question. I feel biased:) I'll say forget the ranking and look at the features you want, how easily it integrates so that you don't spend all your time managing the server and how easily you can recover in case of a disaster. Depends on you knowledge, and environment too.
