=How to install and use cyrus-imap on sme7=
This is a rather complicated modification of SME7 to maintain. But it works fine.
Recently, Zarafa became opensource and should be evaluated first.
It adds cyrus-imap and a server-manager panel to SME-Server
This howto works also for SME8.

Cyrus-imap enables folder sharing of mail items. Coupled with the Toltec connector, it can replace many functions of the Exchange Server with mail client Outlook.

You'll be modifying the SME7 and some actions will be required from time to time, when updates are applied. For example, the preilne file has its permissions resetted after some updates. '''Always test''' send/receive after a "yum update".

If you are new to SME7 and linux, it might be advisable to try this on a test machine.

I am not a programmer. I assembled these scripts from the works of others (Lionel and Jon) and adapted them to SME7. There is no translation since the implementation of the new language engine.

Although folder sharing works fine with EGroupware, Thunderbird, etc., it also provides the base for Exchange functionnalities. So with a connector (non-free) we can have Outlook clients share calendars, contacts, notes... Toltec makes one of these connectors. It's not expensive, it works.

The connector is available from here and the manual from here (toltec.co.za). It has been tested with the Kolab server.
