Users can now download a free version of the e-mail engine
behind SuSE Linux's Open-Xchange e-mail server.
Developed by Netline Internet Service, the free GPL version of
Open-Xchange Server includes e-mail, calendar, contacts, tasks and
real-time document storage.
Frank Hoberg, chief executive officer at Netline Internet Service,
said more than 300,000 people have visited the download website in
the first two days since the code has been made available.
The open source version of Open-Xchange runs on the major Linux
operating systems - Novell's SuSE Linux, Red Hat, Red Flag, Debian
- but without support and maintenance, third-party applications and
connectors.
Open-Xchange allows users to share e-mail, calendar, tasks,
threaded discussions and documents originating from proprietary and
open source systems.
The software supports standard protocols such as the WebDAV
interface (XML), LDap, iCal and HTTP. Windows connectors will be
released later this year.
