“When Hewlett-Packard announced last year that it was
discontinuing development of OpenMail, its popular electronic-mail
and messaging application, there was a outcry from Linux system
administrators, as OpenMail was one of the most popular tools for
managing corporate email on the Linux platform.“So instead of killing OpenMail outright, Hewlett-Packard went
to the extraordinary step of seeking a buyer for OpenMail, so the
product would continue to be maintained. As a result, Samsung
licensed OpenMail and is now offering it under the Samsung Contact
7.1 moniker, with Linux, HP-UX, Solaris and AIX versions.“Today Samsung announced a new program that returns the favor to
Linux users, as Samsung’s “Download and Go!” program offers a
100-user version of Samsung Contact for direct download at a 50
percent discount over existing list prices. This version includes
mailbox licenses, client licenses, upgrades and e-mail support for
one year. The discount offer is good through June 30, 2002…”
