With EAS, it does that. With classic DAV sync, it sits in parallel and only provides calendars/adress books/tasks. > 2.

As mentioned before, you either go EAS (which has some limitations and licensing peculiarities[1]), or IMAP+SMTP as before, plus CalDAV/CardDAV sync for address books / calendars / tasks. (Not with Outlook, but works with Android using DAVdroid.) [1]: https://sogo.nu/files/docs/SOGoInstallationGuide.html#_microsoft_enterprise_activesync > 4.

SOGo doesn't *have* any mail server, you have to tell it how to connect to yours: https://sogo.nu/files/docs/SOGoInstallationGuide.html#_smtp_server_configuration https://sogo.nu/files/docs/SOGoInstallationGuide.html#_imap_server_configuration > 5.

(We've never tested it, since we didn't want to bother with Microsoft licensing.) -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, / Best Regards, Sven Schwedas, Systemadministrator ✉ sven.schwe...@tao.at | ☎ +43 680 301 7167 TAO Digital | Teil der TAO Beratungs- & Management GmbH Lendplatz 45 | FN 213999f/Klagenfurt, FB-Gericht Villach A8020 Graz | https://www.tao-digital.at
