How to cooperate the current mail system with Sun Java Commnication Suite 5

Question

Dear all and Shane,
Excuse me for bothering you again.
Due to time limited, I would like to know how to cooperate the current mail system with Sun Java Commnication Suite 5. I mean I would like to use current mail system (mailscanner + postfix + courier-IMAP + clamav + spamassassin + webmail) and use the outlook connector to connect to Sun Java COMMS 5 to share the calendar, contacts only.
Right now I have done the testing by using outlook, mac mail, thunderbird to share calendar,contacts via Sun Java COMMS 5 in Centos Linux 5.
My plan is as following
1. Sun Java Communication suites 5 server ( I called it comms5 ) will be in DMZ zone and will open the necessary ports in firewall.
2. I will create more than six sub domain name in Sun Delegate server and the necessary accounts within these domain names.
3. All messages will be transmitted via Postfix and clients will retrieve from Courier-IMAP
4. All Clients included other branch offices will use different mail clients to share their calendars, contacts via COMMS5 ( But how will COMMS handle the messages such like invitation ? )
Any suggestions will appreciate.
PS: Is it possible to classify the contacts in outlook address book ?
For example, when user click the receiver, it will show like as following
GLOBAL ADDRESS BOOK
--Director
--and so on
----CN.BRANCH OFFICE
-----------CN01 EMAIL ADDRESS
-----------CN02 EMAIL ADDRESS
-----------CN03 EMAIL ADDRESS
and so on
----JP.BRANCH OFFICE
-----------JP01 EMAIL ADDRESS
-----------JP02 EMAIL ADDRESS
-----------JP03 EMAIL ADDRESS
and so on
----TW.BRANCH OFFICE
and Due to the user account is located in CN.BRANCH OFFICE, it will extend the CN.BRANCH OFFICE contacts level.
Excuse me for bad English, hope you can understand it.
Best Regards,
Bruce

Also the use of Outlook Connector with a non-Sun IMAP backend isn't supported, nor is the use of a non-Sun IMAP backend possible with UWC.
Right now I have done the testing by using outlook, mac mail, thunderbird to share calendar,contacts via Sun Java COMMS 5 in Centos Linux 5. Once again I should remind you that CentOS is not a supported platform for comm-suite-5
