Open-Xchange
I’ve been playing with a VMWare image of Open-Xchange today. VMWare is a neat way to play with systems, especially ones as invasive as Open-Xchange.
But on to Open-Xchange, it’s a promising alternative to Microsoft Exchange. I’ve only had a chance to play with it a little bit, but it certainly feels nice to use.
My only concerns so far are:
- No LDAP integration. I feel this is a must these days. Very little of our systems do not authenticate back to the LDAP.
- No themes. It would be nice if we could theme the interface, but thats not a must by any means
- No Windows clients except web-based. Ok, there is the Outlook plugin, but thats not GPL. By now I would have hoped to see a real GPL/Open Source plugin for Outlook that actually worked.
Its certainly worth looking further into.
