Bern University in Switzerland also unfortunately migrated from a 
well-functioning Unix mail system to Microsoft Exchange a few years ago. 
I tried very hard (as an employee at the time) to find out how and why 
this happened, but nobody would tell me and nobody I knew cared one way 
or the other. Of course it suited users of Microsoft Outlook and also 
many more people started using the Outlook Calender in a Browser.
