Every IMAP server does that. Lotus Domino does that. It's a bunch of
other features in Exchange that just IMAP servers won't do. I haven't
actually used Exchange so I can't know what it does compared to Lotus
Domino, but I'd guess that Domino is the most realistic choice for Exchange.

It does for a bunch of people. I personally don't really agree on Apache
not having remote administration, but I can be mislead what Darren
really means (I haven't used IIS in years) - I assume he means that one
can run the administration console from another Windows-PC.
