You would install one or other and not 2 or even 3. If you do not even know this simple fact then adding in your apparent bias anyway I suggest you pay for and install Exchange and its per user licence. Even easier, pay for office365 which is cloud based then there is no software server setup for you to do and no backups to worry about either. </p> <p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br> </p> <p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">In terms of market share the choice is far more complex eg it is driven by business criteria and need and in some cases sadly by Microsoft only IT ppl who are not paying for the solution themselves anyway. <br> </p> <p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br> </p> <p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">On the other hand I use sendmail and roundcube as my email solution and back it up with bacula. <br> </p> <p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br> </p> <p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br> </p> <div id="Signature"> <div name="divtagdefaultwrapper" style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:; margin:0"> <div style="font-family:Tahoma; font-size:13px"> <div style="font-family:Tahoma; font-size:13px"> <div style="font-family:Tahoma; font-size:13px"> <p>regards</p> <p>Steven <br> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <br> <br> <div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> <hr style="display:inline-block;width:98%" tabindex="-1"> <div id="divRplyFwdMsg" dir="ltr"><font style="font-size:11pt" face="Calibri, sans-serif" color="#000000"><b>From:</b> ubuntu-users <ubuntu-users-bounces@lists.ubuntu.com> on behalf of Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming <turritopsis.dohrnii@teo-en-ming.com><br> <b>Sent:</b> Thursday, 19 July 2018 2:56 AM<br> <b>To:</b> ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com<br> <b>Cc:</b> Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming<br> <b>Subject:</b> Which is better?
