This is correct. It seems that people keep misunderstanding what it is 
to be an Exchange replacement. An Exchange replacement will need to use 
the MAPI protocol or a replacement mapi.dll

It will then need to support email, todo/tasks, notes, and calendar. All 
of these need to be done so that managerA can give receptionistB rights 
to any of these elements. The calendar needs to handle free/busy times 
and meeting requests.

A simple data store where you can get to your email and maybe store 
todos and calendar information is *NOT* a replacement for Exchange. What 
this really ends up being is nothing more than a remote PST file, which 
can more easily be supported by setting up a file share where the PST 
files can be located.
