SOGo - Scaleable OpenGroupware.org
SOGo is a groupware server built around OpenGroupware.org (OGo) and the SOPE application server. It focuses on scalability.
SOGo provides a rich AJAX-based Web interface and supports multiple native clients through the use of standard protocols such as CalDAV, CardDAV and GroupDAV.
Once configured, SOGo offers multiple ways to access the calendaring and messaging data. Your users can either use a web browser, Mozilla Thunderbird, Apple iCal, or a mobile device to access the same information.
There is a separate Howto for installing the Funambol middleware that allows SyncML mobile device synchronisation with SOGo.

signal-event yum-modify
This contrib is currently held in several repositories, so the following commands will install it on your smeserver.
yum --enablerepo=stephdl,epel,sogo install smeserver-sogo
You will then need to activate the database changes etc. The 'official' way is to perform
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
memcached - libevent
Many users have experienced the following dependencies errors (or some kind of them) while trying to install/update SOGo or simply trying to update SME with yum update:
memcached-1.4.2-1.el5.i386 from sogo has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: libevent-1.1a.so.1 is needed by package memcached-1.4.2-1.el5.i386 (sogo) Error: Missing Dependency: libevent-1.1a.so.1 is needed by package memcached-1.4.2-1.el5.i386 (sogo)
To solve this issue you need to install memcached form Epel; the repository can be activated according to wiki http://wiki.contribs.org/Epel . Once configured the repository you can install memcached (The current release available is memcached-1.4.5-1.el5.i386.rpm - may 2012):
yum --enablerepo=epel install memcached
Now you will be able to install/update SOGo and run yum update fine too.
Usage
To access webmail and calenders, open the url http://yourdomain.net/SOGo
If you disable webmail access from within SmeServer email panel, opening http://yourdomain.net/webmail you'll be redirected to SOGo.
Thunderbird Configuration
You are encouraged to use Thunderbird ESR (Extended Support Release) and corresponding compatible Lightning plugin. According to Mozilla Team "Thunderbird Extended Support Release (ESR) is intended for groups who deploy and maintain the desktop environment in large organizations such as universities and other schools, county or city governments and businesses". Furthermore the latest releases of Lightning plugin is fully SOGo compatibile, so no more need of a SOGo customized version.
1.) From a Windows client create the folder "SOGo-plugins\WINNT_x86-msvc" in your Primary ibay "html" folder (e.g. \\<SME server name>\Primary\hmtl\SOGo-plugins\WINNT_x86-msvc)
2.) Download the latest Lightning, Connector and Integrator plugins from [1] and place them in the "WINNT_x86-msvc" folder.
3.) Rename "sogo-integrator-<version>-sogo-demo.xpi" to "sogo-integrator-<version>-sogo.xpi". (This is optional)
4.) Open the "sogo-integrator-<version>-sogo.xpi" file with your favorite zip program (it is just a renamed zip file. 7-zip works nicely for this) and edit the file "\chrome\content\sogo-integrator\extensions.rdf".
Change the following lines:
<Seq about="http://inverse.ca/sogo-integrator/extensions"
isi:updateURL="http://sogo-demo.inverse.ca/plugins/updates.php?plugin=%ITEM_ID%&version=%ITEM_VERSION%&platform=%PLATFORM%">
<li>
<Description
em:id="sogo-integrator@inverse.ca"
em:name="SOGo Integrator"/>
</li>
<li>
<Description
em:id="sogo-connector@inverse.ca"
em:name="SOGo Connector"/>
</li>
</Seq>
To read: (change the server address to your server and add the Lightning plugin to the extensions list): (Then save the "extensions.rdf" back to the same place in the "sogo-integrator-<version>-sogo.xpi" file and then save the .xpi file back on the server in the "\\<SME server name>\Primary\hmtl\SOGo-plugins\WINNT_x86-msvc" folder.)
<Seq about="http://inverse.ca/sogo-integrator/extensions"
isi:updateURL="https://<sme server name.domain>/SOGo-plugins/updates.php?plugin=%ITEM_ID%&version=%ITEM_VERSION%&platform=%PLATFORM%">
<li>
<Description

<Description

em:name="Lightning"/>
</li>
</Seq>
5.) Create the file "updates.php" in the "SOGo-plugins" folder
6.) Add the following lines to the file: (Please note you must customize the "version =>", "filename =>" and "<em:updateLink>http://<sme server name.domain>/SOGo-plugins/<?php echo $plugin["filename"] ?></em:updateLink>" in the lines below!)

(You will have to update this file everytime you update the plugins.)
7.) Install the Thunderbird ESR and configure it to use the SME IMAP email.
8.) Install the "sogo-integrator-<version>-sogo.xpi" plugin you modified, into Thunderbird and restart Thunderbird. Sogo will then go to the server and install the other plugins as configured in your "updates.php" file. As default the SOGo-Thunderbird components will associate Calendar and Addressbook to the Sme user/account corresponding to default Thunderbird Imap mail account; so take care to set the desired Imap account as default in Thunderbird before installing plugins.
Now you can create and share address books and calendars in Thunderbird with other SME users and control access rights to them. Your calendars and address books will also sync with the SOGO webmail page as well as any other computers where you have the SOGO Integrator plugin installed.
To configure other devices refer to website; look however at SOGo official up-to-date front-end software and documentation with latest upgrades for server, client and device configuration (http://www.sogo.nu/downloads/frontends.html - http://www.sogo.nu/downloads/documentation.html).
