IMO, with a gmail account you also have a blog account.   You can
start blogging right away!

Hello Olivier,
If you write a tutorial about your groupware-like setup, I would really
appreciate a follow-up to this thread from you, providing me/us with a
link to said howto.

Thanks,
Simon

If it's Debian specific you can also put it on wiki.debian.org

Kind regards,

Do you know SOGo[1] (Scalable Open Groupware)? SOGo provides mail, 
addressbook, and calendar and reuses your infraestructure (mail server, 
ldap or database, imap server), also use a database for store calendars 
and task. The builtin web interface is proxied behind a web server 
(Apache or Nginx) and supports a wide variety of clientes (Thunderbird 
with Lightning using two aditional extensions) and in the version 2.0 
(using openchange) add native support to Outlook/Exchange MAPI protocol 
to access SOGo groupware without using connectors.


As its name tells SOGo is scalable, you can distribute your users across 
mutiples db's with multiple SOGo backends.


Native acces to calendar through iphone also is possible and using 
Funambol in other mobile devices.


Unlike Zimbra that is too monolithic, SOGo is modular and reuse your 
mail and authentication infraestructure.

SOGo provides packages for Debian Squeeze and Wheezy

Federico

That's a great idea I'll write a tutorial about that.

By the way, what's the best place to write a tutorial like that ? how to forge ?

thanks

There are several integrated suites - Zimbra (mentioned by some else),
Zarafa, Citadel.   They all integrate SMTP, POP3/IMAP and calendaring
functionality.

Egroupware has more features but needs separate SMTP / POP3 and IMAP
server for email messaging.   I am evaluating egroupware for my own
setup and most likely put it into production from Jan/2013.

Assuming it is going to be for several users, you may want to
integrate such suites with LDAP directory service.

Globally, maybe it seems quite complicated to maintain several products to 
build one solution but finally, dividing the task gives flexibility, stability 
and a better mastering of the code. Well, that's just my humble opinion.

This software class is called "groupware".  The term has been around for
15 years or so.  Here's a list of 6:

I've been using Zimbra for the past 4 years now and it's been pretty solid.
I think they stopped providing packages for Debian though.
