There’s more good news on the OpenChange front. Julien has been working together with Wolfgang and Ludovic from Inverse to leverage the server-side support in OpenChange to provide native Exchange server support in SOGo.
A couple of days ago we announced that there now is an initial version that allows the use of Outlook against a SOGo server through OpenChange.
There is a screencast up on youtube (there is also a .mov version of the screencast).
As far as I know, this is the first time it’s possible to actually use Outlook clients with a non-Microsoft Exchange-compatible server, without the need for plugins on the Outlook side. And it’s all Free Software. Of course, this is just a preview, and not something we’d recommend everybody to run in production just yet. But it’s exciting to finally see this come together.
We already have OpenChange packages in Debian and Ubuntu but I hope I can help get SOGo packaged for both distributions as well.
