cyrus mailboxes format

[Geoff Winkless]

My point is that kolab can provide all the things you describe (as Vlad
states, you can integrate with AD authentication with some effort) and
(since it retains Cyrus as its mailserver) should require no transfer of
your existing mail.

I suppose the question you have to consider is whether your Zimbra clients
constitute a larger user base than your cyrus ones... and whether the
Zimbra users come with a perpetual license for the professional edition, I
suppose :)
