I am sitting watching the demonstration video of sogo on youtube and giving
a big sigh!! Wondering how the hell did they get it to work. Must I purchase
a support pack, yes or no.....???? mmm "NO" if the demo doesn't work, I can
just imagine how the support is going to work. Yes I know "the ZEG does
works" but I am yet to experience a working demo with outlook as shown in
the video on youtube.
Phew, now that I had the opportunity to blow off steam I would like to
apologise to the Sogo team. "If" you do have a working product then great
stuff, just a pity you have not found a way to share it with people like me.
Man I am so irritable at the moment I can shout it from the roof tops ....
no reflection on Sogo... just me wanting something and not getting it... I
am just tossing out my toys, banging my head against the wall and shouting
at ants...
And all because I can't figure out where I am going wrong with the outlook
setup. Oh, look there is another ant...
Good bye.
Hello Raymond,
I sympathise with you but also with the SOGo team. There is an obvious
hole in what you can do with a Linux server. It's not necessarily that
it does not act as an Exchange server but that the functionality of an
email server beyond simply sending and receiving emails using Internet
standards is missing.
Microsoft protocols are usually very complicated, The SAMBA team have
done fantastically well to make it work like Microsoft NT Server. The
SOGo team are trying to do this for Exchange.
What should happen is a set of open standards should be written. These
would define how the client and the server talk to each other to handle
address book data and calendar data.
The server could then store it's data in whatever database suits it.
This might be the companies own database or one which came with the
service. The client could be an ipad or MS Outlook or Thunderbird.
Whatever, no matter since this standard would be added to the client
just like IMAP or POP is currently.
Trying to reverse engineer a Microsoft product is a bit sad. It's all
reflected glory. Open Office is like this. I could go on...
Regards,
Wayland.
