dovecot - Jun 2009 - Recommended Groupware?

Hi,

is there a recommended groupware (email + calendar + address book +
syncing with mobile devices) on top of an existing dovecot installation?

Most existing commercially supported groupwares come with their own mail
storage engine. I would like to keep dovecot as the email storage engine
because of the maildir format which greatly helps with backup & restore.

Regards

Hello.

We extensively use horde-{groupware/webmail/etc} for us and our clients
with really good success. you can even integrate it with LDAP to have
calendar availability and such. Integrates very well with lighting even
if you're using a "heavy" client (such as
thunderbird/icedove/whatnot)

The best part of horde it's that is totally independent of your MDA and
MTA solutions, but of course, we prefer to run it over postfix+dovecot.
a real performance winner.

HTH.

Someone already suggested horde/imp, and that is probably the best free
solution. For a partially free but mostly proprietary solution (all
java based), you can check out Open-Xchange, as it does everything you
mention (and more), and integrates fine with dovecot in "standard"
ways (IMAP quotas, sieve rules including "vacation"), which is really
nice.
