Obsolete Releases > SME 8.x Contribs
SoGo / eGroupware / Group-Office
Daniel B.:
Zarafa replaces a lot of core components in the mail stack, that's why it should stay an external contrib. I don't want zarafa because I personnaly want standard components (SMTP, MTA, IMAP) and plug another webmail on top of that. SOGo does a great work with this (it can use the available SMTP, IMAP, and LDAP without any modification). And even without samba4, SOGo is still very usefull, especially with the various Thunderbird extensions. For the official webmail, I'd vote SOGo, but it could stay as a contrib. Anyway, as long as Zarafa (or any other solution) needs to replace big parts of the existing softwares allready available on SME, I'd strongly vote against it being integrated on a default install. I'm quite sure other devs have the same opinion.
Regards, Daniel

it's not authority, it's experience and SME's specific knowledge..
as Daniel correctly pointed out, Zarafa integration could be achieved in 2 ways:
- doubling daemons (i.e. using SME's natives and Zarafa's ones in conjuction)
- replacing SME's services with Zarafa's ones..
the first way is how things work nowadays, and it's not a good solution; everyone with a minimun experience as system administrator should know why..
the second is, in few words, unpraticable.
Finally: HF, please, don't take everything as an offence, thank you :)

when samba4 will be used/integrated/available for Centos6, it will be ported to SME..
actually you can use SOGo without outlook integration and, my personal opinion is that we all shoud work to educate users to work without outlook..

@Daniel, Stefano
Could you be more specific (for everyone's information), witch parts are doubled ? Do you mean Pop3/IMAP ?
Zarafa uses the Qmail/qpsmtpd.
