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...
Well it is in beta, and when running an application like this in
production, you are far better waiting for Sogo 2.0.3 or whatever; let
others do some testing in real environments first. It depends how
'stable' you need your app to be .... I'd give it at least a couple of
months perhaps ....
But that said, I don't think it will be too long before it will be
perfectly usable as a real alternative.

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.
