New OX6 packaging

[Adrian von Bidder]

Hi,

I recently discovere the OX6 Debian packaging -- great!

Questions:
 * the default install (as per the wiki walkthrough) runs on MySQL.  Is
PostgreSQL still supported?

 * which IMAP server is suggested?  Currently, (with a commercial OX5
install) I'm on cyrus, and while it works I'm personally not that happy
with it (needs too much babysitting, backup/restore is a pain.)  Is one of
the others good enough to replace it?  courier?  dovecot?  (Most important
is that we can use acl to share some folders between users; sieve
integration with OX is obviously also important.)

 * Data migration:  Any documentation around on how to move our existing
database (OX5, PostgreSQL and user database in LDAP) to the new set up (I'd
expect the schema has changed...)

 * SyncML: we currently sync (very buggy, though :-(  to several Treo 650
and Nokia E61.  How far is SyncML (free or commercial) support for OX6?

thanks in advance

I think there was mention of Cyrus and Dovecot in the wiki but I can't
be bothered to look it up right now.

Also with these requirements (IMAP ACLs, Sieve support) I guess only
Cyrus will play (Dovecot might partially work, with the
http://wiki.dovecot.org/ACL and http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve
plugins), but I can't be sure since the Courier page only has this on
supported features (the courier wiki is even worse):

"* Courier-IMAP implements many popular IMAP protocol extensions that
provide value-added functionality with most popular IMAP clients. "

So pick the one which has the features you need, in the colour you
like.

cheers,
