[ale] Why Run your own email server?

[James Taylor]

The mobility connection for groupwise will sync shared calendars to ios and android (windows mobile, but who uses it...?).
Also, you can publish groupwise calendars and subscribe to other public calendars, too. The publishing can be done through the web client, however subscribing currently only works with windows clients.
You can set up moultiple personal calendars and share or publish them individually.
As long as I'm at it...The server runs on SUSE Linux and  the server license is included with the app. (It runs on windows, too, but that's irrelevant to me.)

Interesting.

I use lightning with Thunderbird to connect to Zimbra's calendar (and a
few others - like the ALE meetup and my college football team's
calendar. Zimbra has the idea of different calendars, so for a
conference, I'll add a 2-3 day detailed cal and add that to Lightning or
any CalDAV client (like Android).  For addressbook - Thunderbird does
LDAP queries directly. That works fine on the LAN, but not-so-great over
the WAN due to latency.

Just showing that all options have trade-offs.

Been playing with NextCloud Calendar and Contacts today. Meh.  Figure I
must be doing it wrong.
