The Inverse Team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of
SOGo 2.0.5. This is a minor release of SOGo which focuses on improved
stability over previous versions.
What is SOGo
SOGo is a free and modern scalable groupware server. It offers shared
calendars, address books and emails through your favorite Web browser or
by using a native client such as Mozilla Thunderbird and Lightning,
Apple Calendar and Address Book (OSX and iOS) and Microsoft Outlook.
SOGo is standard-compliant and supports CalDAV, CardDAV, GroupDAV and
reuses existing IMAP, SMTP and database servers - making the solution
easy to deploy and interoperable with many applications.
SOGo features :
* Scalable architecture suitable for deployments from dozen to many
thousand users
* Rich Web-based interface that shares the look and feel, the features
and the data of Mozilla Thunderbird and Lightning
* Improved integration with Mozilla Thunderbird and Lightning by using
the SOGo Connector and the SOGo Integrator
* Native compatibility for Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007 and 2010

Two-way synchronization support with any SyncML-capable devices

Android-based devices
and many more! SOGo and our connectors are completely free.
