there is no exchange protocol, there ist something like mapi which you use in a windows network beetween outlook and exchange ( and much more stuff exchange uses ...) i guess what you want is a solution like outlook/exchange there are a few solutions on linux out there based on open source like kolab etc, which combine to exchange function level, this has not a real a relation to dovecot which is a imap/pop3 server but you can goal nearly same groupware functions like outlook/exchange if you combine dovecot with i.e postfix/sql, webmail horde on apache, and funambol plugins for outlook and/or thunderbird ( with acl plugin, and lightning ) cross os multidomain solution, also should work with android funambol syncml and k9 client and/or z-push ( in horde from version 4 ) for active sync, at last with spamassassin and clamav antivir this is high performance groupware mailserver solution in opensource -- Best Regards MfG Robert Schetterer Germany/Munich/Bavaria
