Exchange alternative for Mac Snow Leopard Server

I was wondering what are some good alternatives to Microsoft's Exchange service for use in the new Snow Leopard Server that will be coming out. I am aware that Snow Leopard Server offers open source for mail server, but I would like to go with an actual GUI interface with a third party software. Any suggestions would be great!

You will not be able to do any extensive management of Active Directory from with Mac OS X natively,
and considering the technology, it's best managed using the native Microsoft tools & technologies anyway. There are products that offer options for Mac management from/via AD - beyond what Apple provides and/or is possible by extending your schema, but that's _another matter entirely_.
"Closest thing" is really for you to decide, you will need to investigate the products and if they will meet your needs.
As I have stated, what we know will be available in & via Snow Leopard is what Apple has made known on its own preview pages.
If you needed to seriously know more you would have invested in a ADC Developer account and extensive testing but with the understanding you would be dealing with pre-release technology.
Past that, the two products that offer the most in terms of feature-set(s) are as I already noted:
Kerio
and
Zimbra.
Best of luck !

Similarly, OP needs to MODIFY Snow Leopard by adding the appropriate infrastructure, executables, and configuration to meet the install requirements. Just because that implies a different kernel and system libs doesn't mean it can't be done.
Just don't let the animal rights people (or professional administrator) know about the mods.

Welcome to the forums !
For urgent issues, pl open a Service Request with Support at http://support.oracle.com
The forums are a loose organization of unpaid volunteers and cannot support urgent issues ;-)
AFAIK, Snow Leopard has not been certified for 10g yet.
Pl confirm that you meet all of the requirements for the install - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b25286/toc.htm

PDF converter for Mac Snow Leopard

What would be the best PDF-converter for my Mac OSX 10.6.4 Snow Leopard?
Thanks for advice.
Vallis

Well, I think actually you can try this *PDF converter*.
It could convert PDF to Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Epub and 2 other format.
Extremely easy to use and really friend interface.
Only 1 thing I want to complain is it just support 50 files in a batch.
Wish it could help though.

Games for Mac (Snow Leopard)

Hi,
I am really bored over Christmas Break, and I need a game for my Mac. Any recommendations? And it has to be compatible with Snow Leopard 10.6.3, 2 GB RAM, and a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor. Thanks.

Heh?
It means I got tired of system and/or security updates breaking (whatever) game I was playing, then having the game publishers tech support tell me the (only) way to fix the problem is to downgrade the OS.
So I bought a PS2 (later a PS3) and no longer have that problem.
If I want to play, or replay, any game, irregardless of how long ago the game was published, it just works.
Therefor, if the OP has limited time to play, and as a result, may take several months to complete a game, there may be better platform options.

Push-Technology Support for Exchange - and for Mac OS X Server - users?

To have support and compatibility for using push-email, -calendaring and -address books updating with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 is very much appreciated. But how about small enterprises who so far relied in Leopard Server and seek for similar push technologies in conjunction with the iPhone? I am not a professional but can push-email, -calendaring and -address books updating with the current state of Leopard Server? If not, does Apple plan to integrate a solution? If yes, when?

Photoshop elements for Mac (snow leopard)

Hi all. I recently upgraded my computer to a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard. Previously i had a windows running acer. Just before my acer crashed i bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 7. Unfortunately this is not compatible with my Mac. I was wondering if there is anyway to get a download which will make it compatible (I don't even know if such things exist) or if i'm able to download a Mac compatible version and use my old serial number? or am i stuck having to fork out to buy another copy? Please help....

this is not the Elements Forum.
but to answer your question Adobe does not make software that will run on both platforms its either or. you will need to buy a Mac version.

Mini Mac Snow leopard Server and Timecapsule .....

Hi,
I'm thinking of buying a Mini Mac server for hosting several websites and was wondering if anyone can help me with the following:
1. How easy is it to host several website?
2. Can the Mac Mini Server be connected to a timecapsule for automated backups
3. (not really Mac related but you may be able to help!) My ISP upload speed is only .5 Mb, how does this affect download speeds from the sites I host?
4. Will it run joomla, and is php/mysql already installed?
Many thanks for your help in advance.
Regards
Andy

1. How easy is it to host several website?
Trivial.
2. Can the Mac Mini Server be connected to a timecapsule for automated backups
Time Machine is generally not recommended for servers, though you can use it as a target for your own backups. TM isn't good at making copies of active files, and servers are replete with active files.
3. (not really Mac related but you may be able to help!) My ISP upload speed is only .5 Mb, how does this affect download speeds from the sites I host?
You get 50 gigabytes of upload speed through sheer force of, um, whoops, sorry, clients receiving pages from or pulling files from your server get that 0.5 speed. Enabling compression can help. Some.
4. Will it run joomla, and is php/mysql already installed?
Yes, and yes.
Many thanks for your help in advance.

Need a previous version of Flash 10 for mac (snow leopard)

For some reason the unified player 1.6.4 is not working properly, when I use it on a specific site (the site is confirmed working for everyone else). The player plays for a few seconds, then turn black, and audio continues to go. This worked on this computer before but last week I upgraded flash to the latest version.
I need any previous version of flash 10.1 that has flash unified player 1.6.3 or less. Perhaps Flash 10.0 would suffice as well.
Thanks

Hi, glad you have your site working. Now on the ESPN3.com site, I would read over these system requirements carefully. The FAQ appear to be very helpful. Also there is contact info if after trying all they suggest.

Thanks and also for marking your thread as answered. Glad you indicated MAC in your subject line also.
This will help the many MAC users that use the Flash Forum.

Just updated to 7.0.1 for Mac Snow Leopard, but the icon in my dock isn't the firefox symbol, it's a "document" icon. How can I get the firefox icon in my dock again?

I was given an auto-update message from Firefox, which asked me to restart the program to initiate the update. As soon as Firefox restarted, I got a weird document icon in my dock - in the place where the Firefox icon was moments before. The new update of Firefox seems to be working just fine, but I would like the Firefox icon in my dock and not this unrelated icon. Can you help, please?

I had this problem. Re-instal Firefox. After you drag the Firefox icon in to the Applications icon it is going to ask you if you're sure that you want to replace the version that's there - say yes. Then go down to your dock and remove the Firefox icon - drag it off the dock so it "poof!s" away. You can now put the icon on your dock again from your newly updated version. If that doesn't fix it drag it off the dock again, probably no need to re-update for the third time. Fixed it for me anyway. GL!

Web browsers for Mac Snow Leopard

This weekend I upgrade to Snow Loepard and then version 10.6.3. I now experience high cpu usage (and slowness)with Safari. An Apple rep told me there have been reports of this issue, but no resolution.
As a result I need to use a different web browser. I have tried Chrome (Java apps don't work at all) and FireFox (crashes every time). What other suggestions do people have that I can use as a web browser?
Thanks

Have you "reset Safari" from the Safari Menu?
Also try Safe Mode (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)
If your apps function correctly that way, go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items, and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not go to Users/(yourname)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving ~(yourHome)/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
EDIT: In the case of Safari look in Users/yourhome/Library/Internet Plug-in items and
/Library/Internet Plug-in items.
Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.

I need to download Firefox version 6.0 0r 7.0 for Mac Snow Leopard 10.6.8. How do I do this?

I have Sling Player on my Mac desktop and it will not support Firefox 8.0, only versions 6.0 or 7.0. How do I download these older versions. I upgraded to 8.0 and my Sling Player application will not work.

1) Running an old version is VERY dangerous
