If you look in the guides for both sogo and outlook integration you
will see that it gives the path to the calendars and such.
If you get the stuff installed into thunderbird you can then
manually go enter the calendars and access them without pointing all
the mail to sogo. You just simply don't have autoconfigure working.
I have a dovecot proxy working to map user ids via samba/active
directory and once that is completed the calendar then will work in
thunderbird. The configuration for ldap and email in sogo only
pertains to the web interface and not to your email settings unless
you configure it to be that way. Play with it using a single
account until you have it working like you want. I have used
calendar and mapped the email directly to my servers and it does
work.
You're right all the docs are very ambiguous and should include
suggestions on all the different configurations that could be
accomplished using sogo in many different environments. The
original intent of sogo was to add calendar/task/contacts in a web
format not be an email do all be all.

Thus
my question.
So, based on this, if we elect to use the Integrator, then ALL
SMTP and IMAP traffic will have to go THROUGH the SOGo server.
This will be VERY inefficient for our 60+ users in the office.
I can definitely understand adding these details into the SERVER
config, for when users are accessing the WEB interface to work
with their email.
But why force all of this traffic through one pipe for fat clients
as well?
What is gained by this? What does SOGo 'do' with respect to the
actual emails that benefits Thunderbird *other* than the Calendars
and Contacts?

Pursuant to the documentation found here:

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.

You stated your mail server is

It would
seem logical to point your mailboxes to the mail server.
I agree it seems logical, but my point is the documentations
doesn't
say one way or another.
I may be a bit anal about these kinds of things, but I dislike
ambiguity in technical documentation. It should state
precisely how to
set up your accounts.
That said, we don't have a working setup yet, so it may become
painfully obvious once we get that far.
However, if your calendars are on the
SOGo server, those URLs would
reference the SOGo server.
I hope you are correct and this is indeed how it will work
(mail
clients only talking to SOGo server for Calendar/Contacts
syncing).
