[SOGo] Is SOGo Connector dead?

[Sven Schwedas]

Last and only commit this year was in June, and most if not all 
functionality is broken in current TB releases (subscription status 
isn't synced, subscription buttons are missing, etc.). Do we have to 
write off Thunderbird support for SOGo?

Re: [SOGo] Check sogo version

[Sven Schwedas]

From a script, you can look at the  
tag in sogod HTTP replies or in the log line "version … -- starting"; 
unfortunately, the only other place this version info is stored is a 
compile-time define inside the sogod binary, so there's no good way to 
access it without a running server.

Hello,

How can I get the sogo version I have installed?

Is there any parameter that I can send to sogod to get the version? something 
like /usr/sbin/sogod --version

I don't want to get the version from the package manager (yum, apt, etc) 
because Im building a script that can run in diferent linux distros.

Thank you!

Jose

We didn't do any formal benchmarks, but we moved from running SOGo on 
MySQL to Postgres a few years back and didn't notice any meaningful 
performance difference. Sogo's typical workloads don't really favour one

Database stores all calendars, all per-user address books (available in

[SOGo] User tables missing for several users

[Sven Schwedas]

For some reason, some users don't have their user tables created, but do
have entries for them in sogo_user_folders. How can I make sogo create
these tables? Logfiles don't reach back far enough to figure out why
they weren't created either.

[SOGo] Migrating/Merging SOGo database(s)

[Sven Schwedas]

Hi,

Currently, we have a SOGo setup where each branch office has their own
server, with separate databases, and users log into their respective
branch. This obviously leads to various problems (calendar subscriptions
across branches are a pain, etc.); so we want to merge it all into one
instance.

• Table names for each user are predictable and not randomized, so I can
take the user tables, the user's sogo_folder_info rows, and
sogo_user_profile row from the user's server and just merge them
together, correct?

• In sogo_folder_info, I need to update the c_*location columns to have
the correct new URIs; are any other changes needed?

• In particular, where/how are subscriptions tracked and do I need to
make any changes to make them work on the new instance?

It's disabled on SOGo's side unless you configure the "modifiers"
setting. And ACLs on the LDAP side still apply.

With EAS, it does that.

With classic DAV sync, it sits in parallel and only provides
calendars/adress books/tasks.

Yeah, that's the default.

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.)

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

SOGo has one included, providing webmail+calendars+address books.

> Is sogo the right way to go?
If EAS works for you, probably. (We've never tested it, since we didn't
want to bother with Microsoft licensing.)

Re: [SOGo] About Thunderbird addon

They're still supported, it just makes no sense to put them on AMO. SOGo
Connector is useless without SOGo anyway; and the offered SOGo
Integrator addon is an example you have to modify yourself to make work.

If the calendars are owned by user2, then user2's email address etc.
will be used for external invitations, and user2 will be the default
attendee. user1 needs to add themself to the event if they attend.

Amen to that.

We used to use Exchange. When we decided to ditch it, we had to rip out
and replace our whole mailing infrastructure.

We replaced it with Univention Corporate Server. When we decided to
upgrade a single part, we had rip out and replace our whole domain
infrastructure.

Now, we have a bunch of isolated components – SMTP, Antispam, IMAP,
Groupware, … –, and we can upgrade or replace any single one without
getting into trouble with the rest.

There's a non-standard definition that happens to be used rather often:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms676855%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms679424%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

I know this must be difficult for a public servant, but standard
definitions don't matter that much when they're not adhered to. :-)

> I hope we agree on Active Directory is not LDAP, but like LDAP.

It contains a fully-featured LDAP implementation (…among other things).
It happens to have a different core schema from 389DS/OpenLDAP, but that
does not make it "not LDAP". Neither SOGo nor any other software project
draw that distinction between them.

Like Samba 4, which is the recommended default setup for SOGo. Are you
really going to argue that SOGo shouldn't support that…?

It's multivalued in *a* standard schema. SOGo also has to work with
single-valued ActiveDirectory setups, which are anything but rare. (UCS
did do the same thing too even back when they were using Kolab/OpenLDAP,
FYI. And probably others.)

So *if* we get multi-value support in SOGo/Thunderbird (good luck
getting anything done in Thunderbird…), we'd need to be able to
configure a secondary, multi-valued email attribute. Make it default to
`mail` so it'll work with OpenLDAP if you want, but that'd allow
compatibility with AD, too.

Why, yes, if you modify the LDAP scheme, you'll have to make sure your
programs understand the scheme. What surprising news.

The mail field is supposed to be single-valued, I don't think it's a bug
in SOGo if you break your LDAP scheme on purpose.

(Exchange e.g. adds the multi-valued proxyAddresses attribute for this
purpose, and other groupware solutions use similar named ones. None, to
my knowledge, tries to make the main mail attribute multi-valued.)

No, this is not malware. But I'm curious why the SOGo repository

 Hi everyone,
 
 I am using sogo together with thunderbird and lightning.
 I don't really see the reason for installing the sogo connector plugin,
 because it seems that  events get synchronized without the plugin, and it
 disables the folder bolding (when new mail arrives) in thunderbird.
 
 So my question is, what is the purpose of the sogo connector?

Lightning only provides CalDAV (=calendar, task sync), not CardDAV
(=address books), for that you need the connector. For SOGo-specific
things like ACL/subscription management and plug-in management you'll
need the Integrator as well.

 thunderbird 38.0.1
 lightning 4.0.0.1
 SOGO connector 31.0.1

Double dash + space is the signature separator, which SHOULD be set in

Just as you shouldn't needlessly use HTML in mails.

That depends on your requirements. Cyrus and Dovecot as well as exim and

 You'll have to define what classic is for you.

Presumably the current v2 theming.

 Rest assured that v3 will be even more user-friendly and hopefully pleasant

 We're looking into adopting Google Material design specifications

 spec I never seen for web applications.

While it's not as bad as others, there's some rather jarring concepts,
like floating action buttons (3 toolbars weren't enough, apparently?).

In general, context sensitive UX is fine for casual use where you
don't bother trying to learn a program anyway; but when you want to
(because you're using $program 8 hours a day and it'd make you more
productive), it makes training muscle memory a lot harder as actions
randomly appear/disappear (especially bad when there's not even keyboard
shortcuts).

 The v2 theme hasn't changed for years. It's time to move on.

I don't even want to know how much time we waste every year re-training
users because someone found it was necessary to move on. I hope the v3
design will be good enough to stay with us for a couple of years as well.

 Rest assured that v3 will be even more user-friendly and hopefully pleasant 
 to use for the majority of users.

 complete spec I never seen for web applications.

 like floating action buttons (3 toolbars weren't enough, apparently?).
 
 They suggest to only promote the most common/important action as a floating 
 action button. There should not be multiple floating buttons.

None is too many, sometimes. Why do we need floating buttons now when we
just spent years training users to use the toolbars?

 In general, context sensitive UX is fine for casual use where you
 don't bother trying to learn a program anyway; but when you want to
 (because you're using $program 8 hours a day and it'd make you more
 productive), it makes training muscle memory a lot harder as actions
 randomly appear/disappear (especially bad when there's not even keyboard
 shortcuts).
 
 I'm not sure to follow. Who's talking about a random interface?

That's just my observations with recent UX improvements from
Google/Microsoft/random webapps copying their styles – or rather, the
main things my users complain about to me. It takes too long to identify
interactive elements (due to the everything must be flat and there
can't be any elevated elements craze – Material isn't the worst
offender here, thankfully), and when they do, the elements randomly
disappear because users try to reach them from a slightly different
context, like in Firefox' and Office 2013's context dependant context
menus – Firefox doesn't even show keyboard shortcuts any more, so while
they still exist, the average user wouldn't know how to look them up.

 Why would v3 not have keyboard shortcuts? v3 has to be accessible on
 mobile devices and will therefore be responsive. In this perspective,
 the interface will change depending on the size of your screen but the
 interface will stay similar.

As long as the shiney new presentation doesn't impact productivity, I
won't mind. But far too many recent re-designs sacrificed usability to
be more impressive in presentations, and I'm more than a bit wary of
them by now.

 When I stop Dovecot, the user can login (but obviously can't use e-mail).
 After some debugging I realized that there was more than 30 000 messages in 
 his inbox.
 I understand that this is huge amount of e-mails and not a typical use case, 
 but I hope that SOGo could behave stable even in such cases.

Curious, it should – our mail servers have 2 GiB RAM each that's shared
between the IMAP and SOGo dæmons, and several users have mailboxes with
20k mails each and I've never ran into memory pressure. A problem with
Dovecot, maybe? (We're using Cyrus.)

 When I added some swap, sogod ate about 4 GB of memory and then run out of it.
 However the filesystem is not slow – directory listing time:
 
 # time ls -l | wc -l
 32574

 real0m0.362s
 user0m0.170s
 sys 0m0.195s
 
 and total size of given e-mails is not too much:
 
 # du .
 169M
 
 So why is not 4 GB of RAM enough to show list of messages? Of course, there 
 are some metadata and MIME messages are parsed, not only raw data…
 Maybe there could be some configurable limit of messages above which SOGo 
 will refuse listing particular folder but will not eat all memory.
 
 BTW: My SxVMemLimit has default value (384). I tried to increase this value 
 but it didn't help.
 
 Regards,
 Franta
 
 P.S. my solution was deleting the messages (most of them was useless 
 notifications), so this request is not urgent – but maybe there is some bug 
 or some place for improvement.
 P.P.S. despite this issue, thanks for SOGo, the great groupware software!

Re: [SOGo] Recommended setup?

 Hello,
 
 I want to set up a Sogo server for evaluation and/or personal use.
 I have followed the mailing list for quite some time and read the
 manual and FAQs, too.
 
 What would you recommend as the base OS? I am free in my choice
 and could use any of CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu or OpenSuSE. Probably
 I would feel most familiar with OpenSuSE but would not expect me
 to be helpless :-) with the other Linux variants - except CentOS 7.
 But as far as I can see, I should probably stick with CentOS 6.5
 in case I would select CentOS, right?

There are no official builds for SuSE, and the community builds appear
to have issues with pushing out recent updates (cf. yesterday's thread
by Frank Schneider).

As for the others, no idea, I haven't used SOGo on anything but Debian.
That will probably boil down to personal preference.

 I would prefer graphical or at least menu driven help for setting
 up the OS and the base services (SMTP, IMAP, OpenLDAP, Postgres).
 OpenSuSE has a good tool (Yast) for that purpose. But the other
 OS variants don't have such a powerful tool - or did I miss
 something? Do you have arguments against OpenSuSE for Sogo?

Debian/Ubuntu have a menu-driven configuration framework for some
services like SMTP servers, but that's about it. Everything else is
third-party and not guaranteed to work.

 For the base components ...
 - Cyrus or Dovecot?
 - Postfix or Sendmail?
 Has one significant advantages over the one?

SOGo is fairly agnostic about the mail infrastructure, this will depend
on your other requirements. For testing, Dovecot+Postfix should suffice,
as far as I know.

 Actually, it would be great if I could simply use the ready to
 use Sogo virtual appliance ... but the one available for download
 is SO outdated ...

There haven't been that many user-visible changes since the ZEG's
version, apart from tons of bugfixes. It should be sufficient for
evaluation.

 
 Thanks for your help!

 I know one user which uses this.
 But he only wants to create all new users in a diferent database than
 the old ones.
 So he only changed the settings in sogo.conf.

Our user base is more or less evenly split, and we're adding new users
on both sides. Ideally we'd need something along the lines of
IMAPHostFieldName/SieveHostFieldName.

 I wish I could give you better advice than this:
 
 - Do a sogo-backup on each user on each server
 - Backup both databases
 - Merge Databases
 - If users complain restore from sogo-backup on a user by user basis.

With summer breaks and all, half of our users aren't even reachable
right now. I'd prefer to have it solved in a way that doesn't involve
user complaints. :-)

 What database system are you using? 

Right now MySQL 5.5 with Master-Master replication.

 Have you considered a N-way multi-master system like Galera with MySQL or 
 MariaDB?

After this incident, yes. The restore would go straight to the new cluster.

  In the future you should have at least 3 database nodes to avoid the split 
 brain issue that you now have.
 
 Good Luck,

 Just append your own minor version, for example, while the SOGo's

 em:version=24.0.4-5. Just don't forget to adjust your updates.php and

Announcements are usually on this list. Updates, however, tend to
problematic, and the SOGo Integrator should be disabling automated
updates for that reason.

 Maybe it is smart enough to not try to downgrade when it would break things? 

The update.php adds version information to the resulting XML, so
Thunderbird ≠24 won't get any updates.

But as far as I know it can't handle multiple Thunderbird versions in

 If not, I'm curious how others  stay on top of these updates.

Disabling automated updates, for now.

It's a bit more than that, as you'll need to map addon versions to

Re: [SOGo] Best Mobile/Tablet OS for SOGo

[Sven Schwedas]

Hi,

 iOS (Apple)

Fwiw, FirefoxOS doesn't currently support CardDAV, but might in the
reasonable future.

 My gut feeling is that Android is likely to be the most straightforward to
 adapt if changes are needed, as the other three are more locked down. However,
 I want to get feedback from users of SOGo and mobile devices (mainly phones,
 but also tablets) before I make a decision.

We've been using both Android and iOS for months. While OSX is a royal
pain and essentially broken, iOS (6 and 7) seem to work fine and didn't
cause more problems than Android.

iOS supports Cal/CardDAV natively, Android needs external Cal/CardDAV
providers that cost around $7 per user, if that's an issue for you.
Also, said providers are somewhat broken on HTC phones, thanks to HTC
breaking core Android libraries [1], so you might want to stay away from
them (we're using Google Nexus devices ever since).

Those also hold significantly less data.

 OK, technically innodb can handle up to 4 billion tables and I'm

 As some of you might have experienced since v2.1, IE7 is no longer well
 supported. This is due to the fact that we keep up-to-date with CKEditor
 (the HTML editor being used in SOGo) to benefit from new features but
 more importantly, bug fixes.

 CKEditor 4.1.3 was the last release to support Internet Explorer 7.

 That being said, other parts of SOGo work well with IE7 - even sending
 mails in plain text. It's just the HTML editor that is broken.

 What you guys prefer - blocking IE7 from logging in (and suggesting an
 upgrade to IE8+) or you guys dealing with user complaints that the HTML
 editor doesn't work?

 
 Blocking only because HTML emails don't work is a little bit too much.
 Could you add a warning on or after login with the hint to upgrade?
 For us that would be sufficient.

And maybe automatically disable HTML compositing for those clients, so
they can still compose in plain text without changing their settings
(which I assume to not be an obvious step for users – at for some of  ours).

 Sorry, but this has nothing to do with SOGo, but with your IMAP server.
 SOGo will only display your emails.
 Alle privileges are stored and evaluated on your IMAP server.
 For SOGo it doesn't matter, if email folders are shared or not.
 Only your IMAP server has to do something, in order to provide the
 corresponding shared folders and emails to your account too.

 As an aside, SOGo only fetches the email list of a folder in chunks,
 therefore you normally don't have all 2 million entries in your  browser.


 Kind regards,

 Which IMAP server is used for SOGo. Is it possible to use, the IMAP
 server of your own choice?

As long as it supports all features SOGo needs, yes.

 How can I do a fulltext search through the 2 million mails? Also, this
 should be work with a desktop client like Thunderbird.

Server-side full text search is supported by Thunderbird and some IMAP
servers. Should also be supported by SOGo's web client.

Re: [SOGo] Configuring Thunderbird+Integrator

[Sven Schwedas]

On 2014-01-20 16:19, Steve Ankeny wrote:
 Pursuant to the documentation found here:
 
 http://www.sogo.nu/files/docs/SOGo%20Installation%20Guide.pdf
 
 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)

To elaborate: Thunderbird needs to know the following servers:

• SMTP server (can be provided via Thunderbird's autoconfig mechanism)
• IMAP server (same)
• (cal|card)DAV server (provided via sogo Integrator)

Thunderbird CAN use the following services in addition:

• SOGo XPI update server (Integrator, hardcoded to DAV server)
• LDAP address book server (provided by: ?)

 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.

 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).

 Hi,
 
 I am going through documentation and doing test setups (many) for a
 while to be able to use Sogo's native outlook connection feature.
 
 My problem is not mainly for the setup or configuration but to figure
 out the best suitable underlying architecture.
 
 The documentation says Samba4 is required for native outlook support, if
 an ldap server or AD is in-place as a user directory the sync scripts
 are not provided and also says Samba4 can act as an ldap server.
 
 If I am starting from scratch, why would I bother with a separate ldap
 server, since Samba4 is sort of an ldap server and a requirement anyway.
 Right?
 I guess not.
 
 I have checked Sogo's ZEG and a separate ldap server is implemented.
 I have also took a quick look at Zenytal Server 3.3, which includes sogo
 and openchange in order to provide native outlook connection feature and
 they have also implemented a separate ldap server as well.
 
 
 Now I am wondering what could I have been missing? Why would I want to
 go with an additional ldap server if Samba4 can act as one?

That's actually a good question, as Samba4 seems to discourage the use
of dedicated LDAP servers (
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/FAQ#Why_is_the_LDAP_backend_.28used_so_successfully_in_classic_Samba_domains.29_not_supported_with_the_AD_DC.3F

Re: [SOGo] Clustering SOGo?

 Hi,
 
 is it possible using two or more instances of SOGo (not workers), where
 every instance runs on an own server, which are accessing to one
 database together?
 
 The idea is running a own SOGo instance in our DMZ so the users can read
 their mail, events etc. from home.
 
 Or should I create a database cluster which replicates to/from the
 master in the intranet?

The latter works, we have a MySQL master-master setup running in our two
offices. No idea about the former, though.

Re: [SOGo] Antispam antivirus

SOGo uses an existing IMAP/SMTP infrastructure. So you configure those
just as without SOGo.

Re: [SOGo] Configuration Options for the SOGo Connector needed

[Sven Schwedas]

Servus,

On 20.08.2013 16:09, kar...@t-online.de wrote:
 Hello
 
 Some information about my setup
 
 I use Thunderbird for mailing, calendar, contacts and tasks
 Lightning is the Calendar addon for Thunderbird.
 
 I also have installed an Owncloud Server, and use the CalDav Plugin to
 sync my various Calendars in Thunderbird with OwnCloud Server.
 I maintain several seperat Calendars in Thunderbird - those are added to
 1(one) specific Owncloud Userid in on my cloud.
 
 Also I maintain various addressbooks in Thunderbird (both version 17 and
 24) and my Owncloud Server.
 As there is no support for multiple address books for a single user in
 Owncloud, I try to sync addressbooks from different users on my OwnCloud
 Server with a single User in Thunderbird.
 I use the SOGo Connector (version 17.0.5) to sync.
 This does not work as expected.
 
 I guess the reason is, that the only configuration option in the SOGo
 Connector is to enter the CardDav Server Address.
 There is no option to specify the Credentials UserID and PW for the SOGo
 CardDav connection.
 I wonder anyhow, what userid is actually used by the SOGo Connector.

The first.

(Which can lead to a whole other lot of bugs if it's e.g. a chat account.)

 It seems that the CardDav Connector uses the same credentials as the
 CaldDav addon (would it work without the CalDav Addon??)
 Why do I think this is the case?
 Well - the address book of the specific CALDav user mentioned above is
 syncronized without errors.
 
 So my question is:
 
  Is there a plan or workaround to add UserID and PW credentials to the
 CardDAV configuration options for the SOGo Plugin connector?

I really hope so.

  Many thanks for a fast response

 I currently do not have any plans to open-source the code, as it requires

 G'day guys

 I've been following SOGo for awhile now, used the ZEG and played with
 the tutorial that Oliver has kindly made available.

 My question is I have access to a vast amount of small businesses that
 I currently support and would love to support in the area of an
 Exchange alternative. But my reluctance is that I don't understand
 SOGo, OpenChange, Dovecot, Samba4, Sope, etc. I was wondering if
 anyone knew or could tell me where I could get training in this area.

 Currently I have a basic understanding of Linux, but I'm looking for a
 cutting edge education. The local education places only support Samba3
 which annoys me to no end.

 So in a nutshell, if I were to do some courses (online preferably)
 what is the recommendation?

 Also I just want to say brilliant venture, I love Linux so keep up the
 great work.
 Hello Steven,
 
 I have been following SOGo for several months now and played with the
 ZEG and tried to add SOGo to a Debian server. I think there is a long
 way to go with this before I can use it and I don't think it's a matter
 of training. I have used ClearOS 5.2 successfully for small businesses.
 With it's web interface it's very easy to get it to do all the things
 it's capable of such as file sharing, email and hosting the companies
 website. (I can't say the same about ClearOS 6)
 
 The 'Internet' defines lots of things for us, like how websites work,
 how email works and how DNS works. What it does not define is how
 address books work. All I want is a simple centralised database of email
 addresses that is shared by all email users in the company.
 
 Back in the 90's there was a fantastic thing called Lotus Notes which
 was the ultimate groupware. There are no open standards to let you
 create one in Linux. Whare are the IMAP and SMTP protocols for address
 books and calendars?

CardDAV and CalDAV. Coinincidentally, what SOGo uses. And Apple. And
KDE. And Gnome. And… about everyone, sans Google (who want to push their
own services – thankfully, there are decent clients for Android) and
Microsoft (surprise!).


 I have no idea why people would create standards such as IMAP yet not
 carry on and create standards for address books. Unless it's so that
 Microsoft Exchange has no competitor in the Open Source area.
 
 Regards,
 Wayland.

 If it were not for the desire and in some cases the actual need for

 If you do not need Outlook, then the web interface or Thunderbird
 (with its plugins) is enough.  Of course, working with Thunderbird and
 its issues requires some reverse engineering as well - or at least
 patience.
 
 It sounds like I am coming at the problem backwards. Outlook is a
 popular and competent email client but if I found another one my
 customers would use that. There used to be a little address book and
 calendar that looked like a filofax, it was fantastic and could even
 share it's file over the network so several people could use it. This
 was discontinued rather than developed further. I rather feel that the
 lack of a simple solution to this common and simple problem is
 deliberate. Novel Netware was very reliable but the corporation I worked
 for migrated away from this to TCP/IP which I did not understand at the
 time. The same corporation moved away from Lotus Notes to Microsoft
 Exchange and I have never understood.
 
 I am becoming convinced that the way to solve this problem is to ignore
 the existing 'solutions' such as any Thunderbird plugins or MS Exchange
 or LDAP and create a very simple protocol.

Why are you constantly repeating yourself all over the mailing list? As
mentioned, oh, a dozen times, those simple protocols already /exist/.

Namely Card- and CalDAV.

The Thunderbird plugins (or Android apps) just add those sync protocols
to the existing calendar/address book; Apple iCal and Contacts.app, for
example, can already be used natively.

The Exchange Bloatware is only necessary because there is no decent way
to integrate Outlook into a sane setup.
Sogo uses LDAP (or Samba) because it aims at companies actually big
enough to require them, there are more lightweight address book/calendar
sync solutions building on Cal/CardDAV that can be used without a
central domain (Owncloud and Davical, if I'm not mistaken). Again, with
the same client infrastructure as the SOGo Server – SOGo Connector for
Thunderbird, iCal/Contacts.app, Cal/CardDAVSync (Android), …

 Then people can create the
 plugins for the email clients and the web interface and the backend
 server database interface etc to their hearts content.

They already do.

 No one has to try and pretend to be MS Exchange.

Outlook is the sole exception. Sadly, it's a rather huge and (for many)
important one.

Hello Raymond,

 I sympathise with you but also with the SOGo team. There is an
 obvious hole in what you can do with a Linux server. It's not
 necessarily that it does not act as an Exchange server but that the
 functionality of an email server beyond simply sending and receiving
 emails using Internet standards is missing.

 Microsoft protocols are usually very complicated, The SAMBA team have
 done fantastically well to make it work like Microsoft NT Server. The
 SOGo team are trying to do this for Exchange.

 What should happen is a set of open standards should be written.
 These would define how the client and the server talk to each other
 to handle address book data and calendar data.
 The server could then store it's data in whatever database suits it.
 This might be the companies own database or one which came with the
 service. The client could be an ipad or MS Outlook or Thunderbird.
 Whatever, no matter since this standard would be added to the client
 just like IMAP or POP is currently.

 Trying to reverse engineer a Microsoft product is a bit sad. It's all
 reflected glory. Open Office is like this. I could go on...

 Wayland.

You do not need an IMAP server (the web client will look funny, though

That said, are you sure you even need sogo? Davical et al. would make

 Thanks Jean,

 I updated the packages from the given location.  However after
 updating it SOGo restarts but do not work.

 Below are the steps I have taken.

 1. Removed the symlinks created yesterday.
 2. Reinstalled the packages from
 http://inverse.ca/downloads/SOGo/RHEL6/nightly/x86_64/RPMS/

 After this I got the error.

 /Proxy Error/

 /The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server./
 /The proxy server could not handle the request GET /SOGo./

 /Reason: Error reading from remote server/
 
 this is an error coming from apache and not from sogo

 drop firewall
 try pointing your browser to http://ipaddress/SOGo:2

Re: [SOGo] Attempting to run Sogo 2 alongside Exchange 2003

Hi,

 Whenever I try and point Outlook to the SOGo machine as an exchange account it

 Is there any way to stop this an make it use the Openchange Exchange

 so I can test that?

Just guessing blindly, but I assume this is due to Outlooks server 
autodiscovery. You could try to override it with automx or similar 
(after verifying with Wireshark it really probes the autoconfig server).

Did you install SOGo fresh, or did you update? If update, did you clean 
your browser cache?

In unrelated news: The address book suddenly works again without me
doing anything. I haven't even installed the debugging symbols yet.
Import still breaks though, will investigate that.

[SOGo] Address book problems

(SOGo 1.3.18a, but the problem already existed with earlier versions, btw.)

Hi Francis,

Thanks, I'll try debugging tomorrow. I'll get back to the other offer

 It doesn't works on fresh install too, then no problem with cache.

I just tried it with my existing profile – calendar entries are synced

Btw, I get lots of these errors:

As far as I know, this is normal behaviour for Thunderbird.

 Hi,

 I've encountered the same Problem but I think the problem comes from
 the sogo-integrator for Thunderbird.
 As soon as the password is saved in Thunderbird this password is used
 if its the correct one or not. ( You can see the error mesages in
 sogod.log). You have to delete the saved password manually in
 Thunderbird to get a promt for the correct password.

 If you change the password, sogo does not prompt you the new password,
