Hi Jan, Our company moved away from SOGo more than a year ago. A previous sysadmin installed a server - iirc - about 3-4 years ago; a „pre-production“ like test system. Our move was mostly motivated by a plethora of bugs that made it very frustrating for my colleagues to use SOGo. To be honest, finding bugs like https://bugs.sogo.nu/view.php?id=6053 shortly after a daylight-saving-time change somehow triggers a fear of Whac-A-Mole of timezone related bugs.

We can also help for migrating, sizing... As of today, I'm no longer super-positive about maintaining a server on our own. If you know of good cloudhosters (GDPR-compliant data-processor, competent end-user support), just let me know ;-). The partner list on the webpage is a little short and does not really advertise SaaS/Pay-as-you-go offers. > You should send an email to [email protected].

But getting back on your answer "sogo is old and complex, with rare language (objective-c, angularjs material)“ This sounds a bit like technical debt. Server-side objective-C might qualify as eccentric, but angularjs was superseded by angular years ago. Do you have mid to long term perspective for addressing the design of SOGo? > Yes, we do, because, after all, we are our first SOGo customers!

My gut feeling is that SOGo gains traction because it is one of the most (if not the most) attractive open-source groupware as of today w.r.t operations. It could also gain traction due to mailcow. As you already pointed out, it might not be very attractive for OpenSource committers, though. Do you have any thoughts on this? > Agreed. And this is the feeling shared by our users and our customers. And > also shared by the visitors during our salons. Hope this answers your questions! Quentin Lead Dev at Alinto
