One that I would *love* to see updated is sogo, which is in the gnustep |
| 6 |
overlay.... |

Very fast/lightweight (one server can handle thousands of users) |
| 11 |
fullblown Exchange Server replacement that fully supports |
| 12 |
Thunderbird+Lightning, as well as Outlook (NATIVE support, no MAPI |
| 13 |
plugin required, it actually thinks it is talking to an Exchange |
| 14 |
Server), and pretty much every mobile client out there, including Apple |
| 15 |
iCal/iPhone, Blackberry & Windows Mobile (requires the Funambol SOGo |
| 16 |
Connector), and Android... |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
The latest ebuild available is 1.2.1 which is really old - the current |
| 19 |
version of SOGo is 2.0.7, and has *massive* improvements over the 1.x |
| 20 |
series... |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Also - it is also - or will be, I don't see anything on the current |
| 23 |
website yet - capable of acting as a full blown Active Directory Server |
| 24 |
with integration of Samba4 and Openchange, so, hopefully in the |
| 25 |
foreseeable future, SOGo will be able to fully replace an AD Domain |
| 26 |
*and* Exchange Server... |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
My plan is to get this installed in the next few weeks (I have paid |
| 29 |
support from Inverse for this), and if/when the time comes to upgrade my |
| 30 |
2008R2 domain controllers, I'll be migrating to SOGo AD Domain |
| 31 |
controllers instead. I figure by that time (a few years or so), SOGo |
| 32 |
will be well ready for prime time. |
