At that time I was annoyed about the similarity with Outlook (I consider Outlook a little bit outdated) and the fact that I had to get all sort of offers for travel and hotel bookings which for me was nothing more than spam at that stage. I've looked now at your bluetie pro demo. If you make your application more google like, add something similar with google docs and then in the future create some web based project management tool you have a winner. Make sure your privacy policy includes something like "your data is at all time encrypted and we are not able to see the content" and implement that policy.

Agree that finding a good Web-Based project management tool is very difficult. We have done extensive research in terms of online project management and tried several. We weren't satisfied with any and continue to use MS Project for now. I’d be interested to get your input on BlueTie’s offering in this area.

Google seemed to have some plans in this area when they were demoing their corporate stuff last year, it was very basic however. I must say that Zimbra looks to be impressive and easy for end-users to navigate. There is an open-source version that should be free of charge but lacks subscriptions and support. So once setup on your Linux server I guess you're good to go. The other issue then would be having enough server space and bandwidth. I'm still looking for a decent project manager though ;) Open WorkBench, DotProject & co just don't do it for me. When I think about companies like Rapidshare are charging something like $20 /quarter just for their storage service so the prices you quote sound very reasonable.
