Ok, so after a year of getting our user base ready to switch from
Seamonkey web/email clients to strictly SOGo web interface we hit a
snag. My supervisor is having a fit over the HTML/text issues with the
web interface of SOGo. So this is leading me to have to look into the
integrator and such for thunderbird. Here are a few questions:
Can you explain the issues with HTML/text a little more? Maybe someone
has some ideas that can bring you back around to the web interface.
(Sorry if I missed an earlier thread.)
Is there a way to have thunderbird be a TRUE IMAP client and not keep
a local copy of the messages on the local machine? I know about the
"keep a local copy of messages" checkbox but that does not seem to do
anything as even unchecked it seems to download and keep a copy of the
messages locally.
What do I need to install? I am thoroughly confused about the
Integrator/Connector/Lightning stuff as I have mostly overlooked it
since I thought we were going to go straight web interface.
In short, you should install all three on each client. The Integrator
takes care of all the administration, i.e. permissions, ACL control,
etc. The great thing about the Integrator is that when customized, it
is the only extension that needs to be deployed to each Thunderbird
client. The Integrator will then deploy Connector and Lighting
automatically from the SOGo server if you as the admin choose to set it
up that way. You can then push any updates through it as well.
Obviously Lightning adds calendar functionality to Thunderbird. The
Connector takes care of synchronizing calendar and contact data with the
SOGo server. Take a look at the documentation. Once you understand the
basic setup, it will make sense.

I have read the descriptions but am not clear on which one does what
we would need. I want the same functionality of the web interface,
minus the HTML/text email composition issues, but in the thunderbird
client. We need all email, calendar, contacts, etc in the client.
Any guidance is welcome.
