If you are accustomed with Microsoft Outlook and/or need a shared calendar then we offer the UMIACS Exchange service.  If you work primarily on a PC, collaborate with primarily PC-based users, expect to email MIME attachments or just feel most comfortable with a PC based mail solution, the exchange mailserver is likely the best solution for you.  Among other things, it also supports IMAP, vacation (auto-response) and virus filtering capabilities.
