This feature has not yet been implemented in OpenChange.

This is not completely true ;-)

This feature exists in OpenChange master since 2011. 

I had been writing a dovecot plugin and also the related code in
ocsmanger and openchange server, therefore I ended up with a working
implementation used by some customers. 

The code has been disabled in master after one of the last sogo to
openchange master branch merges and it is unlikely it can gets activated
today without substantial adjustments.

Therefore, I ended up with a new and easier design that we plan to
develop between Q1 and Q2. It is highly possible this feature integrates
Zentyal 3.5 community in the first place, combined to feature addition
and documentation in openchange master.

Br,
Julien.

Thanks for the reply. I guess the best place to ask is openchange mailing list 
which unfortunately seems dead (last message 6 months ago!).

Hi Martin,

It's true there is not much activity on the mailing-list but I can
guarantee neither the mailing-list or the project is dead :-)

I am looking forward unifying openchange users across communities this
year, but this is a very time-consuming task and I am at the moment more
focused on development, strategy and management of OpenChange. I will
definitely need help from my peers with that.

If you have a questions for the openchange mailing-list, I don't think
you will end up without answers, so don't hesitate to post.

Looking forward reading your comments/questions on the openchange devel
mailing-list.

Cheers,
Julien.

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

I suppose you are referring to 'IMAP IDLE' notifications?

The feature we discussed was indeed about IDLE notification but through
Microsoft Exchange protocols.

No it is not. IDLE notifications are used when account is configured as IMAP. 
Openchange uses MS Exchange native MAPI protocol which uses different mechanism 
and has nothing to do with IMAP. Configuring the server to sent/receive in any 
interval does not solve the situation either.

I wasn't talking about configuring the SERVER, I was talking about 
configuring OUTLOOK to POLL the server periodically (ie, 'Check for new

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.

The polling interval seems to be configurable only on Exchange itself, there 
are no client-side options.

 i think it could be possible to programmatically poll server via VBA script, I 
know it's a workaround but it's cheaper than an exchange server , and it 
doesn't need antivirus, software updates, reboots, licences and the other funny 
stuffs that come with windows servers..

I agree!

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'...
