Now this a disappointment... Not to be harsh on the SOGo crew,... but the impression one gets by reading all about SOGo, is that it is the only eXchange alternative around offering an Outlook connector (and all this for free).
Also following this mailing list, I am not sure if SOGo is ready to be installed on a production platform. Many bugs are being reported. And now I read that the Outlook connector is beta ? Now I know that our friends at MS are not much different, releasing buggy software, and patch it while they go... but it is production platform ready...
This gives me cold feet when I consider SOGo as hosted eXchange alternative. So I ask you in all honesty: is the entire SOGo project ready for installing it on a production server, or not? What to expect, and what not?
Looking forward to some constructive comments ;o)
Regards,
Harry

No, it is in Beta state.
And Outlook users are not computer affine, which means you can't give
them beta products without an uproar.
(Not that you should roll out beta software at all ;-)

As you have to manage another identity provider by hand for it, there is
a lot of overhead in "big" environments (we have roughly 14 000 users).
So we will not use OpenChange in SOGo before Kerberos authentication is
available for it.
It provides access for Outlook 2003, 2007 and 2010.
There are some known bugs, but it works nice for a beta already.
From a functionality point of view it will be ripe soon.
Just my 2 ct.
Kind regards,
