Yup. But there is a point of confusion within the docs. I don't remember 
where I ran across it but in one of the help files somewhere it said it 
was not supported on the community version but others told vaguely how 
to do it. And it worked and is working.

Now to answer my own question....

The SWA does not support drag and drop of files to public folders. 
Thunderbird does not support drag and drop to public folders. Outlook 
does support drag and drop to public folders. I can only assume 
Evolution does as well but haven't tried.

As a side note, there is a add on for Thunderbird which is called 
Lookout which can read the winmail.dat files created by Outlook. What 
this does is if you drag and drop a file to a folder using Outlook, 
T-bird can then see it and download those files.

The one thing about installing Scalix... If you do, you have a Scalix 
mailserver. Sendmail has to be set for local delivery only, so other 
standard outside emailing has to be handled by Scalix and configured 
through Scalix. I guess a person could create a virtual machine and get 
both on a single server.

Best,
