Hi, I am not sure why Zarafa is kept from the list here. Is there anyone with any bad experience? They have added an admin interface now, called Z-Admin: http://www.zarafa.com/content/z-admin-webbased-administration-interface-zcp
The Z-Push (mentioned previously) is an alternative Active Sync implementation maintained by Zarafa. http://z-push.sourceforge.net/soswp/ They have full Exchange Support "Due to its MAPI compatibility, Zarafa is the only scalable MS Exchange replacement available. Zarafa is the only solution that has implemented the MAPI standard from beginning to end." http://www.zarafa.com/content/technical-advantages The new WebApp browser frontend which now allows for lots of additional plugins, like IM, online presentation (web meeting), Google+, Facebook http://www.zarafa.com/content/webapp https://community.zarafa.com/pg/plugins/project/4590/developer/zarq/spreed-integration-plugin-for-zarafa-webaccess With the new Z-Admin interface comes a centos repository which allows for daily automated updates and bugfixes..... Up to 3 users can use the Outlook Exchange protocol free of charge. Webaccess interface is also free for unlimited users. http://www.zarafa.com/content/editions A remote wipe plugin for Active Sync mobiles: https://community.zarafa.com/pg/plugins/project/151/developer/sebastian/mobile-device-management-plugin ... and lots of other plugins Opinion?
