I've spent some time looking for a comparison chart showing features for various e-mail and calendaring servers and services, and am coming up short (I can find charts for *clients*, but not servers or web services). Does any know of such a resource?
[Background: I'm on a task force that's looking at some questions about e-mail and calendaring. The college's central IT organization currently runs Zimbra as its main mail service (for students and faculty/staff), with some departments (including mine) and even a couple of individuals running their own independent mail services. There are two major trends that seem to be driving this discussion. First, there are people who would like to see the college using a single calendaring system to make it easier for them to schedule meetings. Second, there have been a number of educational institutions outsourcing e-mail service to external providers, notably Google and Microsoft, both of whom offer tailored service plans for educational institutions. I would also be happy to have a discussion (on or off list) about the pros and cons of Google's or Microsoft's offerings, internally run e-mail or calendaring systems, interoperability issues, advantages and disadvantages of centralized vs. distributed systems, or anything else related!] Thanks!
