Hi.

I'm currently looking into groupware solutions on Debian mainly for
sharing a calendar such as Thunderbird + Lightning.

Anyone who can provide some real life experience of pros and cons?

I develop web pages using PHP, as such I have access to a web server capable of 
PHP, MySQL and the like.

A couple years back I wanted to find a PHP based script for checking multiple 
Email addresses at the same time, Kinda like using Mozilla Mail, but being 
accessible on the internet and across multiple computers.

I come across a script called Group Office that does this well via IMAP, also 
has scheduling / calendar features, Notes, File storage and swapping amoung 
accounts, a whole host of features. The primary focus of the project is an 
online group project management solution; but I find it incredibly useful as a 
general use online organizing tool. They have a community project that is 
open source and a paid version with additional in house features.

I find myself needing to upgrade my instance at the moment due to depreciated 
PHP code, but outside of putting that off for a couple weeks, I have been using 
this solution happily on an almost daily bases for several years.

I've used gw6.5 - there's a (pretty mac client for that version). However,
if you're on 7+ you've got options. Since Novell puts out sles, I'm pretty
sure they have a linux port. They also have add ins and apis for the newer
servers allowing you to do different things.

Hi Rico,

I am using Zarafa [1] and it's really cool. They have a community 
edition
which is open source and provides an open-source Active Sync (Mail, 
calendar,
contacts sync to the phone) - afaik no one else is offering something 
like that

under open source license.
for smtp you can still use postfix and use zarafa behind that.
email is possible with imap or pop, calendar with ical or caldav.
Webmail looks like Exchange Webmail (imho they should design their own 
webmail,

but if Exchange users change to Zarafa, it's easy to use for them)

there are repositories from zarafa for debian, the installation is 
quiet easy


Maybe SoGO [2] is also an alternative, but it's more complex to set 
up...
