Everything is open source, and the great thing about SOGo is that it uses existing IMAP server for mails rather than reimplementing yet another one itself. They seem to prefer Cyrus, but apparently Dovecot should work too. For non-mail (calendar, etc) it uses SQL, but I heard it's not too difficult to replace that either if someone would prefer some NoSQL database or something.

Interesting.

Now I wonder whether this already supports the SOAP-based EWS protocol, 
which is - apparently - MS's new alternative to MAPI. Well, unlike MAPI, 
it is appears to be well-documented [1], making development in that 
direction relatively straightforward I can imagine.

Stephan.
