Hi All:

For those interested in a full enterprise level Groupware, used by companies like IBM and Redhat, check out the following offering by Kolabs:

https://kolab.org

This system is OS but can be hosted on Kolab servers within Switzerland (because of the countries laws and rights on encryption, security and privacy) or hosted on your own servers. It is a fairly recent offering, two or three years, so it is not currently well known (I listened to a podcast this morning with one of the developers). The application can be used by one person, "Mom and Pop" type business or used by ten thousand...it fully scales up to virtually any size. The program is being used in many corporations and government offices. The application has clients for the major distribution like, Windows, Apple, Linux and Android...and can import and export data to all the other competing programs like MS Exchange and Zimbra...

Of course, there are training programs, online/phone support, email help and forums available...and even an online demo version for playing with.

So if anyone is thinking of upgrading their mail and groupware services this product is well worth investigating.

Jim
