Hi all, I am a brand new user of SOGo and have a few questions/feedback.
I am using it for the Calendar and Address book with SQL backend only.
My current frontend testing is on Windows, I will do Linux (Fedora
distro) next.
1) I followed the Installation guide (PDF file), but there was some
missing info. I'm using Centos 6.4 and the guide has no mention of
needing to install the EPEL repo. For others having this issue, it is
answered in the FAQ, but should probably be part of the install guide.
2) The install guide and default sogo.conf does not work with Centos 6
postgresql. localhost needs to be replaced with 127.0.0.1 (perhaps an
IPv6 lookup issue). It took me a while to figure this out.
3) Calendar ACL / permissions was confusing to me. I could not figure
out how to set them. I found my way to the 'Sharing' right click menu on
the calendar and searched for another user. When it displayed that user
it displayed the persons name and there was checkbox next to the name
that says 'Subscribe user'. I have no idea what that means or does. In
addition it took me more than an hour of looking around under various
locations (and in the database) to figure out that you double click the
persons name to get another dialog where you can change the access
rights from the default. Finding this was not documented and very confusing.
4) Whenever a SOGo dialog is displayed, the window is below (z-order
issue) my main browser window, requiring me to constantly move/alt-tab
to find the dialog.
5) I am running Thunderbird 24 w/ Lightning 2.6. I downloaded nightly
build of sogo-connector-24.0.0-679d27bda6.xpi (dated Oct 7 2013). I am
NOT running integrator - not sure of the need.
a) Is thunderbird/sogo supposed to periodically update the address
book when changes are make? Lightning has a refresh interval option - I
don't see anything for the address book.
b) Every time I launch Thunderbird it asks for a username/password
for the address book. There was never an option to save it to the master
passwords like the calendar. This is a show stopper. Has this always
been like this or is this a Thunderbird 24 issue?
6) I have no desire to use the 'Mail' interface. Is there a way to
disable the mail feature alltogether? I notice from the logs that the
sogod server tries to login to an imap which I did not define, but I
dont want it to. And on the web frontend there is a Mail tab, can that
be removed/disabled?
7) It would be nice if SSL/STARTTLS was supported on the SMTP interface.
I had to setup an stunnel to communicate with my off-site mail server.
8) The web frontend page does not save passwords. I am not sure if it is
coded in a non-standard way, but neither Firefox nor my add-in KeeFox
plugin detect the login screen and offer to save username/passwords for
the web frontend.
9) Using the default sogo.conf file, how do I know if memcached is being
used?
10) The install guide (page 30) says of the isAddressBook parameter - if
set to YES, this SQL source is used as a shared address
book (with read-only access). What does it mean by read-only access?
This threw me off because it appears I am able to read and write my
address book which is what I desired, not just read only.
