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! -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists

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?

Re: [SOGo] Plans for collaboration features?
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? -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists

Organizational, and Group/Team collaboration Ie, an organization can provide web pages and store documents to provide information to employees - e.g. an 'Employee Handbook' and/or 'Policies Procedures' manual), a 'How To' web page provided by IT for with links to all kinds of things (ie, working with the organizations different systems (SOGo, Phone system, etc), and then users could work within their Teams to collaborate on projects, etc that kind of thing. Shared Tasks (ala Horde) would be nice too... Thanks for listening... :) -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists
