[Dovecot] Web-based shared calendar synchronizable with Outlook
Hi,
I know this request is a a little off-topic but may be interesting for dovecot users (at least i hope!)
Does anybody has already had an experience with a calendar sharing solution including a webcalendar and an outlook connector, "compatible" with dovecot ? Today, there are many projects aiming to be a "M$ Exchange Killer" (such as Zimbra, OBM, open-exchange, etc) but they offers a global package with MTA and imap server included.
I saw the page about BynariConnector (http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/BynariConnector) but unfortunatly they do not provide a webmail :( I'm afraid
What I am looking for is a shared agenda solution providing a webcalendar, an outlook connector and eventually a pda connector, using (or not) dovecot, and a corporate ldap server...
What are you guys using ?

Well...
www.scheduleworld.com provides free syncing/sharing of calendars, tasks and contacts, between Outlook (funombol plugin), Thunderbird (SyncSW extension) and alomost all phones (even non-smartphones can usually sync contacts).
This is a full 2 way sync for all clients, and it works great.
But... I think what you are reakky asking about is not a shared calendar solution, but an exchange replacement, which this is not...

Well, SW seems cool but misses the webcalendar part... I don't want an exactly an exchange replacement, I can say in other terms that I am rather looking for a webcalendar which provides a possibility to see others people's calendars, and which allows to synchronize outlook's calendar with it (and eventually pda's as well)
Zimbra, Kolab and others projects do it but provide mandatory email server packaged with. AS you might have guessed i want to keep using dovecot/postfix :)
gmail or google apps do everything fro you for free...

No it doesn't... create an account and log into it.
I don't care much for the interface, but it is there...

scheduleworld is free, and also syncs with a *lot* more than google apps does... I personally don't trust google...
But use whatever works for you...

Not using right now but I have used WebCal (http://bulldog.tzo.org/webcal/). It went end-of-life back in 2003 and I haven't found it's replacement (though only doing some light searching.)
Some of the user/administrator interface is butt-ugly (mostly color selection and combinations) but it does a nice job at shared calendars/resources and the big plus for me is it is written in Perl so can be modified.

The latest from the Horde project has a sharable calendar system, and
uses SyncML to sync to other devices.
I've used the shared calendars a little, but I'm a couple revisions
behind for trying out the SyncML stuff.
