IMHO the complexity of a murder setup is not necessary for 300 users ;-) In my experience young people tend to use "the internet" (which means browser for them) only. They are no longer familiar with installing and configuration of local applications like email clients. Because of that the use of web based services is increasing. This also means, that our SOGo service is used more and more here at the University of Konstanz. >> My user's currently are pop'ing their mail onto their laptops etc, >> there for >> contacts, calendar and mail are sitting locally in their machines. >> This brings >> me to my question, is there a possibility of import their existing PST >> files >> into Sogo? or what would be the best solution for getting the mail >> into their >> sogo account? > > Isn't that a client issue?
