Non-commercial?  You could consider the hobbyist PMDF from Process, or
else the Community Edition Communigate Pro.  The latter is, as far as
I can tell, not being upgraded for VMS any more (they won't confirm or
deny) but it works well and has the capability to handle SMTP-AUTH.
The older CGPro won't work cleanly for anything fancy (calendaring/
scheduling) in Android/IOS mobiles but basic email functionality will
be fine.
