Dear sogo community,
first of all I wanted to thank the inverse team, Péter Szladovics and
Olivier Bitsch. With the help of their tutorials, VMs and scripts I
was able to build an ansible playbook for installing SOGo and
OpenChange. I need Outlook support, so the OpenChange part was
critical. Thanks again, great work!
But I am still having some issues. One is this "uncaught exception"
that raises once in a while. Every time it does, Outlook looses
connection to Exchange. It often happens when I try to share a user's
calendar with another user:
/usr/sbin/samba: Uncaught exception NSInvalidArgumentException,
reason: SOGoMAPIDBFolder(instance) does not recognize folderType
When I restart samba4 (which doesn't die, at least not entirely),
Outlook can reconnect, but the expected changes of the permissions
didn't happen. I uploaded a verbose (level 5) samba log of the event
here: http://pastebin.com/HhMmc7rN. My smb.conf is like that:
http://pastebin.com/L1TxejnP. Sogo is configured with GNUStep, the
sogo-tool dump-defaults is: http://pastebin.com/bemzrg7c. I use
postgresql as database backend and dovecot as imap server.
In general outlook works. I can receive and send emails, I can create
and modify calendar items and contacts. Only calendar sharing is
limited and I have stability problems because of such exceptions that
make a restart of samba necessary. Regarding calendar sharing: I can
share calendars in SOGo web interface and it fully works there. My
partner can create, modify and delete calendar items for me. But this
doesn't work in Outlook. For Outlook the same shared calendar is read
only and I only see the free/busy information, not event details. If I
want to change the permissions for my calendar through Outlook it
doesn't let me choose options that allow the other person to make
changes. I can select them but they would immediately switch back to
the read only versions when I commit the changes. And most of the time
such operations cause exceptions like the one described above.
Is this normal behavior because of the limits of the outlook
compatibility or can it be solved? I read that seeing the details of
appointments may not be supported. Is this still the case and if yes -
is it likely to change? Are there ways to make it happen?
Thanks a lot for any help or hint!
Dear Michael,
Just a hint from me, but it maybe (I hope) helps you.
The outlook not the best choice (IMHO the worst), but on commercial
environment it's the default (a Hungarian slang: the necessary evil).
So. Workaround, but working fine:
Share all of needed resources under the web (SOGo interface), and use
them in Outlook.
One thing won't works: shared folders. But contacts and calendars ;)
You will need same method about out of office settings and server side
mail rules.
As far as I excperienced - Thunderbird the one and only MUA for using
the most features (with lot of extensions), but neither the sharing
resources.
So, the web client will your best friend ever :)
