Neither of them compares to Scalix's outlook plugin. And the AJAX web client is very cool.  The admin of scalix takes a bit to get used to though, but that may just be because I'm not terribly familiar with sendmail.  Setting up users and such is nice with the GUI, but most of the powerful stuff is CLI.   I set it up on Centos 4.3.  They say it is not supported, but there is plenty of stuff on their forums about how to get it going.  Basically just changing the redhat-release file to say Redhat rather than Centos.

Thanks for the quick comparison of Scalix with other alternatives.

The question I was going to ask the OP before you said this was:
Have you checked out open-xchange.org?  It might be worth your while if
you're looking to replace MS Exchange rather than simply supplement it.

Open-Xchange is fully open source, with the exception of the Outlook
plugin and maybe a few other bells and whistles that require licensing
technology from Microsoft.
