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... Regards, Wayland. -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists

I am sure that the Sogo team is working hard and I really hope they crack the whip on MS Exchange server. We need people like the Sogo team. What frustrated me a bit was the fact that the Zeg is advertised on the site as a zero config test environment to see the product in action. The Sogo web GUI worked fine and the sending test mail with the interface worked fine but there was just no way Outlook stayed connected for me to see the results of using a native connection to outlook. I google'd the problem with Outlook and found some people who had the same issues but with no reply on how to resolve it, this is why I got a bit mad after discovering one post where someone commented on a user problem and one of the team suggested that they purchase a support pack. This is where I snapped and got the idea that the Zeg was not working and to get it to work you had to purchase support. Anyway I had another discussion and it just may be Windows 8 with outlook 2007 that is not tested with the Zeg and it could be a bug. Outlook has all the SP's 1-3 installed, firewall turned off, hosts set in windows etc etc... as per the docs but no luck to get outlook connected. If you don't use the exchange setup in outlook and you use the account (auto detect) option then the IMAP server is detected on the Zeg. By doing this you don't have Calendar synchronization, only mail items as you would expect from an IMAP server. One Sogo member on the list assured me that the Zeg works with outlook. So now I am in the process of testing WindowsXP with Outlook (2003 and 2007) and then will move onto Windows 7 with Outlook (2007) I addition I will be starting from scratch to configure CentOS 6.4 with Samba 4 and to see if I can get OpenChange running. Better to start from the bottom up. Regards, Ray Hello Ray, Indeed your message did not reach the group but my reply will. I messed around with ZEG for quite a while and even managed to make an installable ISO so I could run it on hardware. I don't know if the ZEG is up to date with the current SOGo but I had disconnection problems and very slow response. I tried Outlook XP and Outlook 7 on XP and Windows 7. It was obvious to me that this was not ready for my customers as I could not handle the frustration myself. I love Open Source software but it's a mystery to me what is motivating the developers. Is someone paying them? Do they thrive on people complaining about bugs? Are they planning on selling the whole thing to Oracle? Here's what I do. There are loads of small businesses with two or three computers and they struggle to share work without a server. I get a decent old computer and make a server using Linux. It acts as file storage and email server. It bugs me that they can't all use the same address book. Also these days people are using their smartphones for email. It's easy enough to get the smartphone to use the server for email but again no address book. The calendar function would be great. This market is dominated by Microsoft in the medium sized businesses and Google in the small businesses. I don't think it's good if people keep all their stuff with companies hooked into PRISM.

As an alternative, if there were another client that would allow for connection to Sharepoint calendars and would also allow for the use of existing third party Outlook plugins, then we could use that. 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. 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. No one has to try and pretend to be MS Exchange.

I do not know if it can be 'ghosted,' but I do not doubt that it could. It appears to me that converting the ZEG to an ISO is an ideal way to use it as a bootable DVD or as an alternative to installing it natively instead of keeping with the virtual machine concept. It would have been better for me if the ZEG had been as an ISO to begin with because VMWare could still be used if you wanted. The remastersys seems to make a usable ISO but the web interface on port 2 throws an unhandled error when I log in with sogo1/sogo on the Live boot.

(the Ubuntu one already set up with outlook mapi) I was thinking just dumping the virtual machine's hard disk image to a ghost image etc... then just ghosting that over to a real hard drive, sticking it into the server and seeing if it boots. That way I just have to mess with configs. -K -- Mobile: 07925 431381 Office: 01787 388165 -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists

It's using the linux-generic kernel wich is also really good so it will boot on anything. You were not paying attention :-) The menu screen shows for a few moments before it boots into the live CD option. -- Mobile: 07925 431381 Office: 01787 388165 -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists
Re: [SOGo] ZEG burned to ISO DVD using remastersys
I just tried installing ZEG from the remastersys disk but I have learned that the install only works from the GUI and ZEG does not have GUI. I suppose I could install one before running remaster. -- Mobile: 07925 431381 Office: 01787 388165 -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists
[SOGo] ZEG to Google Android emulator Exchange email
OK, well MS Outlook 2003 works OK with ZEG as an Exchange server I am now attempting to get Virtual Android 3.0 with Google Apps to talk to ZEG as an exchange server. However it can't seem to connect with the server. I have the choice of using SSL or not. I am basically following the client Outlook instructions but there are no Android specific ones. I know it's networked OK because it can see the Internet and see my local LAN. -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists
[SOGo] ZEG burned to ISO DVD using remastersys
I put the Zero Effort Groupware image .vmdk into bootable ISO format! I am now able to pop a Live DVD into an AMD64 machine and run ZEG on hardware rather than VMWare. I can run it as live or install it. This is handy for testing and could help build production hardware without having to start from scratch. I have used Remastersys which works best with Ubuntu. Start ZEG in VMWare. Log into the ZEG terminal with sogo/sogo Follow the Remastersys instructions for creating a Ubuntu ISO http://geekconnection.org/remastersys/ Install FTP so you can download the file to your CD burning computer apt-get install proftpd-basic ucf chose:standalone Get CuteFTP or whatever FTP package on your host computer host: sogo user: sogo pw: sogo Then download the ISO from /home/remastersys/remastersys/ Test this ISO by using it as the CD-ROM in a new virtual machine in VMWare Workstation. Burn it to DVD (too big for CD) and test on target hardware. Regards, Wayland -- Mobile: 07925 431381 Office: 01787 388165 -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists
