Installation
Download & Install Zarafa rpms
http://www.zarafa.com/download-community
Distribution = Rhel 4
tar -zxvf zarafa-6.20-rhel4-i386.tar.gz
yum localinstall libvmime*.rpm libical*.rpm zarafa-6*.rpm zarafa-webaccess-6*.rpm zarafa-licensed-6*.rpm
Download & Install alpha smeserver-zarafa rpm

yum localinstall smeserver-zarafa-0.9-XX.noarch.rpm
After rpm install executing two action scripts _should_ get you started:

Usage
Note, Mail is sent to zarafa, and NOT the users ~\Maildir
Be aware that if you enable spamassassin sorting it goes to ~\Maildir\.junkmail, and the mailsorting contrib will sort mail into ~\Maildir folders
Webmail
Access with browser for a local user
Outlook
To use MS Outlook
Configure, enable and start /etc/init.d/zarafa-licensed
Install the zarafaclient-*.msi add-on contained in the win32 directory of zarafa-*.tar.gz
Outlook Client Send/Recieve Error 0x80070057
Outlook 2007 client generates the above error on send and receive if the Zarafa server is added to an existing profile. Creating a new clean profile solved the problem.

IMAP
To access mail in zarafa with an email client, configure your IMAP client to use port 144, or 944 for IMAPS
It's possible to use the standard IMAP port's of 143 and 943 if you edit gateway.conf and disable SME's IMAP
Calendar
To access the calendar functions with an iCal client eg, Thunderbird and Lighting
in Tbird/Lightning > New Calendar > on network > ical > http://<domain>:8080/ical/<user>/calendar/
8080 may change see /etc/zarafa/gateway.cfg
Note, there are problems with reading events created with /webaccess, it's a know problem and won't be fixed. Zarafa 6.30 will use CalDEV instead of iCal
Mobiles
To sync the data in zarafa to a compatible device
Not configured, todo
Extras
Command line admin
man zarafa for details
List users:
/usr/bin/zarafa-admin -l
Update a user to admin status:
/usr/bin/zarafa-admin -u <username> -a 1
Migrating users and data to Zarafa
Folder Naming
SME and Zarafa use different folder naming. To enhance migration SME folders should be renamed prior to migration.
drafts > Drafts junkmail > Junk E-mail sent-mail > Sent Items trash > Deleted Items
Zarafa migration whitepaper describes various ways of migrating your users and your data to a Zarafa server.

IMAP migration from SME/IMAP to Zarafa/IMAP
Configure zarafa-gateway for migration enabling IMAP on port 144 only as shown above
Get imapsync and required perl module
http://wiki.contribs.org/Imapsync
Perform a user mail sync from SME/IMAP (host1/port1) to Zarafa/IMAP (host2/port2)
imapsync --noauthmd5 --host1 localhost --port1 143 --user1 <username> --password1 <password> --sep2 / --prefix2 "" --host2 localhost --port2 144 --user2 <username> --password2 <password>
Example to synchronize a user named 'bob' with password 'bob123' from SME IMAP into Zarafa:
imapsync --noauthmd5 --host1 localhost --port1 143 --user1 bob --password1 bob123 --sep2 / --prefix2 "" --host2 localhost --port2 144 --user2 bob --password2 bob123
After syncing is complete, stop zarafa-gateway service and/or edit /etc/zarafa/gateway.cfg to meet your needs.
