Dovecot - Postfix Calender Synchronisation

Re: portable formats and their mime type

Re: dependencies

- db: why? just use the ical and vcard files! They are files, they are in a directory, they can be used like dovecot uses eml files! No need for postgresql or mysql.

- webmail: why? We use dovecot!!!

- apache web: why? we use nginx.

- linux: why? we use other unix systems.

- python: why? it takes 140MB all by itself, it is an interpreter (slow), it is a security hazard, we would have to install it on purpose and sanbox it in a virtual machine! So we have to install a vm manager.

Bloody hell...

I obviously meant would you care to elaborate on this comment of yours: "There are two portable file formats for calendar and contacts that work across applications and systems, but no server that can use them, and use them safely." Any client<>server system will have some basic requirements. SOGo is very easy to install (as long as you are using a repo+package manager, and aren't trying to install each dependency manually by hand). @libertytrek.org> @protonmail.com>
