Yes, that's a sad story. SLOX (SuSE Linux OpenXchange) was very promising. When SuSE got bought by Novell, there were far to many Messaging services around (netmail, groupwise, slox), so slox had to go away.
Hula is, let's say, I child under the projects and when I looked at it, was not very evolved. I don't know how much changed in this time. But when comparing Hula and OpenXchange with Zimbra [1] for example, you probably see why they disappear and don't get that much attention anymore.

Not really. Being someone who has to use Zimbra (just for IMAP at the moment) I can say that you don't want to use Zimbra as IMAP service. I haven't analyzed it yet but it seems that it only allows one open IMAP session per user. That means that folder switching takes ages. It doesn't support ACLs for IMAP and it doesn't support IMAP IDLE as it seems.
Wolfgang, Thanks for this information :-) At the moment, I was just looking around and zimbra looked very promising. At this time, I'm just using horde/imp, which is nice.. but lacks some features and usability. Is your Zimbra configured to use a 3rd party IMAP or is it using the one shipped with Zimbra? So.. if you were me, that would have to decide what System to choose, (for private purpose, so it has to be free) for let's say, 10 accounts (unlimited size)... what would you suggest?

I guess it's Zimbra's own. I'm not sure if Zimbra could use another one at all.

Hard question to answer. It depends what those 10 accounts want to do. Collaboration with Horde is not really ready but the applications are pretty good. Being PHP is not the best solution but I'm still running Horde as service for a community. The free version of Open-Xchange seems to be a bit unmaintained at the moment what I've heard. So maybe Zimbra as a free available version might be a good choice if you need collaboration features but don't need the best IMAP experience. So I'm not really sure what to choose since every solution has it's (dis-)advantages.

For private use I use Squirrelmail and either UW Imap or Dovecot. Last time I looked Hula was also quite nice and easy to setup with few dependencies. On the downside Novell announced today they are dropping their sponsorship of Hula by pulling their full-time programmers so who knows when version 1 will now be released, I've been waiting for over a year. -- David Bottrill david@bottrill.org www.bottrill.org Registered Linux user number 330730 Internet Free World Dialup: 683864 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
