Again, that fee would only apply where software patents are valid, which is great news for European users like me :-) Thanks a lot for this move. With Active Sync and Openchange, Sogo will become a monster of an alternative solution to the omnipresent solution «That I Will Not Name» :-) Thanks, -- Rémi -- [email protected] https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists
