OpenChange Project Goals

The OpenChange Project aims to provide a portable Open Source implementation of Microsoft Exchange Server and Exchange protocols. Exchange is a groupware server designed to work with Microsoft Outlook, and providing features such as a messaging server, shared calendars, contact databases, public folders, notes and tasks.

The OpenChange project has three goals:

  • To provide a library for interoperability with Exchange protocols, and to assist implementors to use this to create groupware that interoperates with both Exchange and other OpenChange-based software.
  • To provide an alternative to Microsoft Exchange Server which uses native Exchange protocols and provides exactly equivalent functionality when viewed from Microsoft Outlook clients.
  • To develop a body of knowledge about the most popular groupware protocols in use commercially today in order to promote development of a documented and unencumbered standard, with all the benefits that standards bring.
