A couple of questions about Inverse, SOGo, Zentyl, and OpenChange....
1. How active is the collaboration between Inverse and Zentyal to fix
bugs, add features, and improve performance of OpenChange and its
implementation of Microsoft's Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) and Exchange
Web Services (EWS) ?
I ask because there are some bugs in OpenChange having to do with EAS,
which prevent SOGo's OpenChange ActiveSync features from working as a
full replacement for Exchange server. Outlook users see some missing
features, some performance problems and some bugs.
You're mixing a few things here. There's no such thing as OpenChange EAS.
OpenChange implements the native Exchange protocol (Outlook Anyway is
the Exchange protocol over HTTP). OpenChange is pretty much maintained
by Zentyal. SOGo provides a backed for OpenChange, so we can link both
solutions together.
The EAS code in SOGo does not require OpenChange at all.
2. Also, what's the roadmap or status on implementing Exchange Web
Services as discussed on the zentyal openchange github repo?
https://github.com/openchange/openchange/issues/314
Ask the OpenChange team.
Many say EWS is a better bet than EAS and much less trouble to debug
than the popular yet arcane and overly complicated EAS.
EWS isn't better than EAS - those are completely different beasts. EAS
is mainly for mobile devices and Outlook 2013. EAS is a protocol
oriented towards synchronization of _personal data_.
Also.... Outlook 2013 and newer use EWS to talk to exchange server so
this EWS code would be a smart addition to OpenChange and SOGo.
Outlook 2013 supports the Exchange protocol and EAS. It does not support
EWS.
