This is incorrect and I don't believe you will be able to clearly |
| 30 |
identify any "super-secret proprietary stuff" within Kolab. But as |
| 31 |
said above: Please give it a try. |

To correct this: While Kontact is the primary client, it works fine |
| 36 |
with Outlook and Thunderbird, too. In addition have the Horde |
| 37 |
webmailer. Kolab has a pretty good if not the best Cross-OS client |
| 38 |
coverage in the area of groupware servers. |
