You don't need EAS for Mail, just use IMAP ... (but maybe I am missing something ..)

However, I've struggled with OpenChange, and I've come to the conclusion the better way for my users is to use EAS with Outlook 2013, and like you, I think the CalDav Synchronizer looks great. That will help with Address Books and Contacts, but it will not help with receiving Mail in Outlook. That's where using EAS should work. I'm on the same page as you as far as not using OpenChange. My users are long time Thunderbird users, so using MAPI for Mail made sense, but "some" users need Outlook. So, for those few users, I believe EAS should do the job. Dovecot/Postfix, SOGo, Samba, no OpenChange -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists
