Mr Marcotte,
Please forgive me for being direct. I just checked the SOGo web site (again) and am reading both the first page and the press release. It clearly states:
".... SOGo 2.0.0beta1 with native Outlook compatibility. SOGo is the first Free and Open Source groupware to offer this feature!
New features in 2.0.0beta1
This prerelease allows Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007 or 2010 to talk directly to SOGo - just like if it was a Microsoft Exchange server. No plugins are required for Microsoft Outlook to make this work."
Nowhere in the documentation it is written that the native Outlook compatibility is only supported up to a certain degree due to missing features. When SOGo users on this mailing list inform that certain functions do not work, use time and effort (and time is money for some of us...) to see what this new feature is all about, it is only correct to say that they are reporting bugs. If those are not bugs, it should be stated what functions are not included, since people expect an alternative to their Exchange server (as so nicely presented in the press release).
I am not here to make bad publicity. But when somebody tells me to refrain from responding, I find it more then correct to point out the above. Again, forgive me for being direct. I guess I must have been mislead by the way the software was announced. But I know there is one thing we all can agree on: it is a beta release. Other then that let me add that SOGo is a great piece of software, and I hope to install it on a production server soon. There are still a few things I need to work out, hopefully by using this mailing list. I have send a commercial request earlier to Inverse, but never got a reply. But we'll manage.
To all of those who work had on this project: keep up the great work, you're doing an incredible job !
Regards,
Harry

You have to differentiate bugs and missing features in a beta software.
If you can't due to your lack of knowledge on the solution, refrain from
responding.
Such comments are far from motivating for all of those who work hard on it.
