Even properly integrating with a mysql database isn't clear - password changing didn't appear integrated and fixing that wasn't obvious?
? Not sure what you mean... you can point SOGo to any existing MySQL backend for authentication, or it can create/use its own...
Have you installed SOGo yet?? Keep reading the docs... Not everything works if you aren't using LDAP...
Not yet, no, but I have been in intimate communication with Ludovic (the main guy), and he assures me that it can use any existing MySQL backend for AUTH (one of my main requirements, since I use PostfixAdmin+MySQL for my UserDB management), and does NOT need LDAP for anything, unless you decide to use the Samba4 stuff, then it will use its own internal LDAP stuff. I've heard it is possible to configure things to work with OpenLDAP, but it isn't recommended unless you're an LDAP expert (which I'm not and have no desire to be)...
I'll definitely report back once we've taken the plunge (should be in the next few weeks)...
The one thing I wish SOGo had was collaboration features, ie integrated 'document sharing'... but considering that our next major 'Windows Server' domain update will be to SOGo (we're currently on 2008 R2, so by the time we're ready to upgrade, SOGo/Samba4 will be very mature)...
Which is why I currently like the idea of Roundcube + OC.
Yes, but that doesn't give you anywhere near what you get with SOGo...
Regardless, I'm curious to see what you come up with. Keep us posted...
