Re: [PLUG] Need a Groupware/Calendar Recommendation

["Lee H. Marzke" <lee@marzke.net>]

FYI,  if you don't need a native app calendar then this may work:

Zimbra has a java mobile web client in the free opensource edition that provides
email, calendar and address book to mobile clients ( and an AJAX full client for desktop)

FYI,  Zimbra is not a large monolithic solution, the open source solution is composed of:

- postfix MTA
- mysql DB
- openLDAP directory
- custom LDAP schema's
- amavis, spamassassin and clamAV
- imap/pop proxy,  http reverse proxy
- carDAV, calDAV,  iCal , etc.  ( but not sync )
- custom AJAX web client,  java mobile web client.
- lucine content index 

Installation involves just answering questions,  and it all is running in
about an hour for single server install.   All configuration items go
into LDAP not config files.   Users can authenticate internally or
to LDAP or AD.


The commercial version adds:

- active sync for mobile
- mobile management ( min length password on device, device wipe, etc. )
- legal holds  ( archive mbox's when requested to not delete mail by pending legal action )
- legal search ( search all mailboxes in domain by keyword )
- realtime backup, clustering, multi-tennancy

The packaged software is designed to scale out ( multi-server ) to 250,000 user mboxes
or more which is why all the configuration is stored in LDAP ,  yet the
same software runs on one server with a trivial install.
