Polarismail Outlook plug-in - where to get?

[George_B]

We are releasing an update to our Control Panel this week-end which adds the ability to add OpenChange accounts. Once that happens, please e-mail support, if you already have Enhanced accounts, to request the ability to convert to OpenChange.

Please note that at the moment, OpenChange does not support Outlook 2016. Only up to Outlook 2013

Will this come with a new interface or same Enhanced interface? Will this change how ActiveSync works? So OpenChange instead of z-Push?

It's the SOGo interface, that you can demo here:

http://demo.sogo.nu/SOGo/
user: sogo1
pass: sogo1

OpenChange only takes care of the Outlook interactian via MAPI. SOGo provides ActiveSync in this scenario, and from our tests, it works much better than Z-Push

Will this cost the same as Enhanced accounts?

Sogo's demo interface appears to have no support for personalities/aliases or a filestore. Very pretty though. It also doesn't appear to support organization entries that are shared between contacts like the Enhanced interface does.

I can confirm the lack of personalities, it will be on our to-do list.

Presently we are working on integrating SOGo with our own file storage, files.emailarray.com so that you can attach / save to from that interface, directly in Webmail.

Our implementation however does support shared address books & calendars

By shared I don't mean between users. The Enhanced interface shares company info between individual contact entries. One place updates all contacts sharing that Company.

Any update on this?

Yes, it's fully operational. If you have an Enhanced account with us ( must be at your own domain, not polarismail.net ) you can request to try out OpenChange by e-mailing support@polarismail.com

There are a few drawbacks:
no support for Notes, public folders or Outlook 2016 but other than that, it's working great!

If you answered this somewhere else, I apologize if I missed it.

I assume Outlook 2016 support, Notes, and such will happen at a future date?

Thanks for the updates!
