I had to do this for a client once. It was a while back. In the end, we
decided on IBM's Domino. He doesn't like it nor does he like IBM :( This
may be a somewhat antiquated, but it's a start. I may have already posted
this to the list some months ago:

Bynari Insight server

Easygate Workgroup server

Novell Groupwise

IBM's Lotus Domino

SuSE Openexchange Server 4

Oracle Collaboration Server

Billworkgroup's Exchange4Linux

Kroupware Project
http://www.kroupware.org/

PHPgroupware
http://www.phpgroupware.org/

..and don't forget those just mentioned on the list. James Marcinek (SLUG
member) totally loves www.opengroupware.org. I don't know about the
egroupware.org.

I would love to hear more of your findings and finally what you decide to go
with. This kind technology is really exciting. I remember someone on
(Slashdot or Freshmeat?) complaining how there wasn't any collab server for
Linux and how how many programmers were coding on a myriad of MP3 players
when we needed these. Now, take a look!
