The soft is not overpriced and it is compatible with Courier IMAP.
That's what I heard initially, but then someone claimed that Insight
Connector needs IMAP ACL support, which is not supported by Courier.
So, if anyone's going to try this stuff with Courier they better get good
assurances from Bynari.
IMAP ACL support is required so let outlook users define how their private
folders can be accessed by other users. Everything else is standard IMAP and
does not require ACL support. Namely, shared calendars etc. can easily be
setup as shared maildir folders and be fully functional. It is a matter of
saying 'the users control access' (i.e. IMAP ACL is needed) or 'the
administrator controls access' (no ACL support needed).
If you want to have IMAP ACL support, the Cyrus IMAP server can provide that
(but this becomes off topic for this list).
