I'm currently looking at rolling out SOGo as part of a major reworking
of their current infrastructure (will also include converting their
old Courier-IMAP to dovecot 2.1.x among other things)...
SOGo, as far as I can tell, is the best truly free and open source
'exchange clone' available that works extremely well with
Thunderbird+Lightning (which is what my Client uses currently, but
they are very dissatisfied with using Google Calendar for Shared
calendars), Outlook and Apple Apps, as well as Android, Blackberry and
Apple mobile devices - and their upcoming v2 (in beta now) will not
only provide native Outlook support (no plugin needed), it will also
(optionally) provide a Samba4 Active Directory server in my main
Client's office - all with absolutely no licenses required. Commercial
support is available from Inverse, the company created by the
developers to provide said support services.
Looks interesting.
I have currently have horde/imp/kronolith running with
postfix/dovecot/mysql on the back end and it's been working nicely with
all the clients and devices except for outlook.
I'll have to take a look at sogo, because I'd really like to keep
outlook for the users that want it, to cut down on support and complaints.
Thanks!
Terry
