Not sure what you mean...

You cannot have Calendars without Lightning - it is what provides the
calendar functionality.

I used to think I preferred having the calendar in a separate window,
but resigned myself to having it in a tab when the update that changed
that happened.

Now, I prefer it in a tab.

I don't think that preference is a good enough reason to stick with an
unsupported version of Thunderbird, but that is up to you.

> I have ca 65 calendars/task lists

How many calendars, and how many task lists?

Either way, I hope you understand, that is a huge number, and the super
vast majority of users do not have anywhere close to that many, the vast
majority probably have less than 6.

The problem is with Thunderbird.

This is a known issue, and one that is not easily fixable, because it
has to do with the underlying non-threaded code.

Because everything works on one thread, and the calendar code is not
written to throttle itself when working.

It is likely a bug related to the huge number of calendars you have, but
one that is unlikely to be specifically addressed, but may be fixed
if/when the underlying code is rewritten.

I understand that Microsoft rolled out an update to EAS recently that

Re: [SOGo] Thunderbird "Domain Address Book" empty when using SOGo Integrator

[Tanstaafl]

I hate the 'GAL' (Global Address List' functionality in
Outlook/Office365, and I didn't like it in SOGo either.

When we first set it up, I bought support, and had them disable the GAL,
and just defined a shared Address Book for our Company.

This worked perfectly, and is what I will do again the next time I use
SOGo (which will likely be sooner rather than later).

Will this also prevent the user from being able to subscribe to (ie,

Not similar - it *uses* SOGo for the Groupware features, if you elect to
use them.

Note where it says:

"Note: These 2 services require SOGo Groupware, if you need them, please

No, that would be iRedAdmin-Pro (commercial). iRedMail itself is free,
open source, and basically makes it easy to install everything and get
it working together.

Personally I prefer doing it myself (I like postfixadmin for managing my
user db), but nothing wrong with iRedMail.

Update Lightning to a 4.0.2.1 build (which fixes the underlying
problem), restart Thunderbird, then fix the problem calendars by
changing one (or both) of the Prefs in the config editor (filter on

[SOGo] Calendar colors won't stick when changed from Thunderbird...

[Tanstaafl]

Hello,

We recently started experiencing the problem with the calendars locking,
but installed the 4.0.2.1 build to see if that fixes it, but I can tell
you that it does not fix this other new problem we've been having.

If I change the calendar colors in Thunderbird, they stick until I
restart it, then I see them flash for a second in the sidebar with the
correct colors, then they revert to the grey color - all except my
personal one, which sticks.

I also just checked the web GUI, and even though I changed them in
Thunderbird, they show as grey in the web GUI.

I changed them in the web GUI, and confirmed that they now stick in
Thunderbird...

So, we can now no longer change these colors permanently from
Thunderbird, we have to do it from the web GUI.

This is on TB 38.2, Windows 7 Pro 64bit, and latest version of Integrator.

Interesting...

I was about to say that we don't use them because we use StartSSL certs
- but apparently StartSSL is the CA for StartCom...

So, I am confirming at least that much. We're still having issues with
this, and we use a StartSSL cert.

so don't do a wildcard search, search on: "calendar.reg" (minus the

and re-enable them.

Trust me, this works, if you are experiencing the same problem many of

Ok, I'm experiencing a similar problem with one user...

If I uninstall Lightning and Connector/Integrator, her personal Calendar
comes back... for a while...

Then at some future time, it beclomes locked and unchecked/disabled, and
I am unable to re-enable it with the GUI.

I'll test to see if doing this in the Config Editor keeps it working.

Can you elaborate though on how many entires need to be changed?

Thanks,

It sounds to me like he is running a single SOGo instance hosting
multiple email domains, and has unique URLs (ie, his reference to 'DNS')
for each email domain, and wants SOGo to be able to append a fqdn to the
end of the username based on the URL of the login page?

If I understand this correctly, I'd love to see this ability as well.

So, depending on if a user goes to:

https://sogo.example1.com/SOGo/so/
or
https://sogo.example2.com/SOGo/so/

and entered a username of user1

SOGo would pass "us...@example1.com" or "us...@example2.com" as the
login username to whatever the backend auth mechanism is using.

I would also consider it a bug - but it works correctly for me. When I

Not even close.

This would be acceptable for events added via the web GUI.

But if the event is added directly via Thunderbird/Lightning, it should
automatically be displayed in Thunderbird/Lightning - Sync interval
shouldn't have anything to do with it.

Ok, will do the next time it happens.

This time, I decided to try something different, since this user had 8
IMAP accounts (which would make it much harder to just recreate the
profile from scratch)...

1. uninstall Connector and Integrator, restart Thunderbird

2. open the config editor

3. filter on 'sogo', then 'right-clk > reset' for all entries

4. filter on 'inverse', then 'right-clk > reset' for all entries

5. restart Thunderbird

6. delete the now local address books that were provided by SOGo

7. restart Thunderbird

8. reinstall Connector and Integrator

Calendar issue fixed.

Yes it is a lot, but it was way easier than redoing the profile.

Not sure what you mean.

SOGo is a SERVER system. It does provide a webmail interface (which is a
client of sorts), but that is it. I believe it is written primarily in AJAX.

Thunderbird has nothing to do with SOGo, beyond the fact that the SOGo
devs chose Thunderbird as their primarily *supported* email client.

If you want to learn about Thunderbird development, you'll need to join
and ask these question the the thunderbird dev list...

Hi Ludovic,

What is affected by this setting? We have a ton of people with a huge

The web interface functions correctly. Is this a bug with

I'm using Thunderbird 24.5.0, Lightning 2.6.5, SOGo Connector 24.0.5,

This was discussed here erlier.
Conclusion is:
This is a limitation or Bug in Thunderbird/Lightning.
You only have the Invitation accept/decline/tentative buttons as long as
the corresponding event is not in one of your calendars.
As SOGo writes these events into your personal calendar, and
Thunderbird/Lightning synchronizes that, Thunderbird does not display
the invitation buttons.


Oh I see, this is very unfortunate. Is there a known workaround? All my
users use Thunderbird/Lightning so that's pretty much a show stopper :(

If you have 3 sogod processes, it'll use 6 connections.


But what determines how many sogod processes will be used?

We see more connections to the database since SOGo 2.2.4.


I'm curious, how many more? In other words, is it a lot (double or 
more)? Or just a little (10% increase, etc)...


Also - I'm curious what you and/or others who are using [my][postgre]sql 
or mariadb have set for


max_connections
max_user_connections

Are there any connection tuning (preferably sql related, but I imagine 
the number of connections SOGo requires is similar or the same 
regardless of what backend is used) recommendations for SOGo anywhere? 
Searching the install doc for 'connection' didn't reveal anything.



This error says, you lost a connection in mid transport of data and it
can not open a new one.
That is a really generic problem.
Perhaps your network is busy.


I doubt any of the above. First, the times these happen are outside 
normal business hours. If it had to do with a busy network, it would be 
happening during business hours.


My network is fairly small - 60 or so users - but, they are all using 
shared Calendars & Address Books (at least 3 of each, more in a few 
cases), so maybe I do need to tune the mysql connections.



Perhaps you run out of port numbers.


What do you mean 'run out of port numbers'? This is connecting to 
mariadb over TCP on port 3306 - one port.



Perhaps you have not enough file descriptors.


My SOGo server is on a different box than my SQL server - so, do you 
mean file descriptors on the SOGo box or the SQL box? And wouldn't there 
be other symptoms? And more importantly, again, this happens at odd 
times - the first few times at about 3:00am or so, so when the load on 
the server is at its lowest.


But I'll investigate this further.

Where should thunderbird find the server?


Good question...

First, since I know nothing about how extensions work in general, this 
is all purely fantasizing, but I was imagining something like:


1. Part of SOGo install is to create a special Apache listener on 
sogo-config.example.com, where example.com is the primary/default domain 
of the new SOGo user/customer.


2. SOGo Integrator is configured with some kind of variable based 
pointer to be able to talk to new SOGo setups, ie:


https://sogo-config.%userdom%.com/configs

%userdom% would be resolved based on the FQDN part of the users full 
email address.


SOGo would then be able to 'feed' the Integrator whatever customizations 
are necessary, on the fly, simply by adding them to the SOGo.conf file.


Obviously, this would probably require considerable work, but it seems 
to me to be much more preferable than having to do this in the extension 
itself, and having to redo it every time a new version comes out.


Ok, I'm awake now, sorry for dreaming out loud... ;)

First - wouldn't Z-Push be a way to do away with the Openchange+Samba

No there is currently no such thing.
You could add an enhancement request for that at http://www.sogo.nu/bugs


Ludovic (or someone) said they were going to do this for me way back (a 
year or more ago?) when I asked about the same thing, when we were still 
in the consideration stage. Are you saying there is currently no open 
enhancement request for this?


In my opinion this is extremely valuable functionality for Shared 
Calendars with multiple users involved. Currently, the only way to 
achieve this behavior is the same way we were doing it with Google 
Calendars... the Shared Calendar is set up to auto-accept 'invites' for 
events from specific users (or all users), then the person who added the 
event 'by invite' can manage (modify or delete) their events, because 
they are on both their personal and the Shared Calendar.


But this is only a workaround... SOGo badly needs built-in capability 
for individual users to be able to directly add and manage events to 
shared calendars, but NOT be able to manage anything added by other users.

Pursuant to the documentation found here:

http://www.sogo.nu/files/docs/SOGo%20Installation%20Guide.pdf

Pg. 6 [PDF 8]

Assumptions

SOGo reuses many components in an infrastructure. Thus, it requires the
following :

❏ Database server (MySQL, PostgreSQL or Oracle)
❏ LDAP server (OpenLDAP, Novell eDirectory, Microsoft Active Directory
and others)
❏ SMTP server (Postfix, Sendmail and others)
❏ IMAP server (Courier, Cyrus IMAP Server, Dovecot and others)

In this guide, we assume that all those components are running on the
same server (i.e.,
“localhost” or “127.0.0.1”) that SOGo will be installed on.

Documentation "assumes" the various components are all running on the
same server.

Pg. 50 [PDF 52]

Mozilla Thunderbird and Lightning

Alternatively, you can access SOGo with a GroupDAV and a CalDAV client.
A typical well-
integrated setup is to use Mozilla Thunderbird and Mozilla Lightning
along with Inverse's SOGo
Connector plug in to synchronize your address books and the Inverse's
SOGo Integrator plug in
to provide a complete integration of the features of SOGo into
Thunderbird and Lightning. Refer
to the documentation of Thunderbird to configure an initial IMAP account
pointing to your
SOGo server and using the user name and password mentioned above.

With the SOGo Integrator plug in, your calendars and address books will
be automatically
discovered when you login in Thunderbird. This plug in can also
propagate specific extensions
and default user settings among your site. However, be aware that in
order to use the SOGo
Intergrator plug in, you will need to repackage it with specific
modifications.

Obviously, IF your SOGo server is not hosting the IMAP account, it must
be pointed elsewhere.

And, just as obviously, the SOGo Intergrator will discover the calendars
and address books.

Licensing costs, overhead, security and privacy are big issues where I
work.

We opted for Outlook 2010 to save licensing fees over 2013 or Office365
Our users are confirmed Thunderbird and Firefox users and only need
Outlook as an interface to their accounting software.

IF polling is an issue, then something like VBA and VBScript makes sense.


And this should be officially supported by SOGo, even if only as some 
kind of 'addon', or 'contrib', so everyone doesn't have to 'roll their 
own'...

I can't believe that wouldn't work?



Sorry I sued the wrong expression. No it will not work since you can
only configure outlook to “send/receive” in given intervals (F9)
however what you would need is “update folder” (SHIFT+F9) in
intervals which is not configurable as far as I know.


Wow... bummer... that pretty much guarantees that the guy who has been 
pushing to migrate our mail server to hosted Exchange (or Office365) 
will start making considerably more noise.

This feature has not yet been implemented in OpenChange.



This is not completely true ;-)

This feature exists in OpenChange master since 2011.


Can someone please comment -

We will be rolling SOGo out very soon, and after some testing for a few 
weeks with our current Thunderbird base, we will test with Outlook, then 
allow users to switch to Outlook if they want to.


So... Is this about 'IDLE' notifications? Meaning - I can still set 
Outlook to poll the server every few minutes and that will work ok?


Thanks

Outlook 2003... 2010 will still require OpenChange/Samba4.

It's still an important piece of software for SOGo and we don't plan to
move away from it because we add Active Sync support.

These are two separate things, and both will continuously improve.


Ok, thanks... one reason to consider upgrading our licenses I guess.

One last question...

Do you anticipate this bug that is causing problems with earlier 
versions of Outlook to really and truly be crushed soon? In time for the 
next major release even?


Thanks again

With our Active Sync support coming up (it'll show up in the source tree
tomorrow), you'll be able to use Outlook 2013 natively without
Samba4/OpenChange - which can be a challenging piece of software to
install/maintain.


That is *fantastic* news about not needing samba4/openchange, but...

What about earlier version of Outlook (specifically 2010)?

We have standardized on this version of office, and will probably stay 
there for the foreseeable future. Having to upgrade to 2013 would not be 
an insignificant cost.


It isn't a deal breaker, but again, the vast majority of our (eOpen) 
licenses (60+) are for 2010.


Thanks Ludovic!

No my problems have stemmed from how it's interacting with samba4 and
windows AD. I used my own user account for testing and somehow my
openchange account is corrupted and when it reads it back from the
schema even after blowing it away and starting over, keeps giving me
errors where it can't create my profile. Passed it to the openchange
list got replies and after I passed the full debug info can't get a
response at all for what my issue is.

Support and response for sogo has been stellar but I'm not too happy
with openchange responses.  It is only necessary if you want to use
outlook with the calendar functions and it looks like I'll be pushing my
remaining users over to thunderbird and get rid of outlook.

I might just go with the vtiger option after I test it and use it's
plugins for calendar and tasks and wait for the openchange portion to
mature and stabilize more.


Well, since we are planning on offering Outlook to users here as well as 
Thunderbird, this is critically important to me.


We relied on the fact that SOGo claims that their software provides a 
seamless native Outlook experience (no plugins required).


I would love to hear from others if they are having similar experiences 
with Outlook.


I'd also like to hear from the developers about this...

Anyone?

I'm concerned about this now, because I know our management is going to

Never mind, according to Jean it is an entirely different bug, and 
should be fixed soon...
