Actually SuSE looks like a fork of HP OpenMail, which is available now
as Samsung OfficeConnect for significantly less than the SuSE
solution. 

Plus OfficeConnect is newer, and works on more than one Linux
distribution.

I'll admit, the SuSE solution looks pretty, but it's not Open Source
or Free (as in Freedom) Software. While OfficeConnect isn't Free or
OSS either, it's also not locking you into a single vendor - like
SuSE.
