The Inverse Team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of SOGo 2.0.0. This is a major release of SOGo which focuses on improved stability over previous versions and the addition of native Outlook compatibility support!
=== What is SOGo ===
SOGo is a free and modern scalable groupware server. It offers shared calendars, address books and emails through your favorite Web browser or by using a native client such as Mozilla Thunderbird and Lightning, Apple Calendar and Address Book (OSX and iOS) and now, Microsoft Outlook.
SOGo is standard-compliant and supports CalDAV, CardDAV, GroupDAV and reuses existing IMAP, SMTP and database servers - making the solution easy to deploy and interoperable with many applications.
SOGo features :
* Scalable architecture suitable for deployments from dozen to many thousand users
* Rich Web-based interface that shares the look and feel, the features and the data of Mozilla Thunderbird and Lightning
* Improved integration with Mozilla Thunderbird and Lightning by using the SOGo Connector and the SOGo Integrator
* Native compatibility for Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007 and 2010
* Two-way synchronization support with any SyncML-capable devices (BlackBerry, Palm, Windows CE, etc.) by using the Funambol SOGo Connector
* Excellent native integration with Apple software (OSX and iOS) and Android-based devices
and many more! SOGo and our connectors are completely free.
