I think it will take some months because I don't work on GetOut all time. If I understand code correctly, GetOut uses only very small portion of Redemption and internal data model is same as MS simple MAPI. So I think it shouldn't be so hard to get rid of Redemption. I'm not going to reimplement whole MAPI, I'm going to just wrap functions needed by GetOut which were "protected" by MS Outlook security patch.

I will take docs about Funambol server installation from SOGo git and put it to project page, it should be enough. GetOut setup is straightforward and is same as old Funambol Outlook connector.

Target users of GetOut are people which don't want ActiveDirectory or Samba 4 AD in their networks and prefer SyncML/CalDav/CardDav instead of ActiveSync...
