I have been working on setting up eGroupware and am pondering a more
sophisticated setup. We have installed it as a mySQL database but I
think I woudl like to move the contacts to an LDAP server, that way I
can make the addresbook availible to other applications. Has anyone done
this? and what problems am I likely to encounter. I also want to be
able to use a different mail programs to access the IMAP server are
there any problems with using both eGroupware’s email and other IMAP
clients at the same time?
Any input would be appreciated.

I am currently doing this and have been for about a year now. What I
did was create a separate E-Groupware user for a global address book.
Everyone else has their contacts in their own account. In thunderbird,
I set up mutiple LDAP address books. One for their personal addresses
(you have to filter the ldap query to include only their UID), one for
the Corporate address book, and a third to include both.
The reason for the third is that Tunderbird will only autocomplete from
one LDAP addressbook (that may have changed in 1.5).
As far as using both a standalone client and the web interface, this has
always worked well for me. The only complaint I get is if in
Thunderbird you delete messages from your Inbox, they have a line
through them in the EGW Inbox. The only way I have found to fix this is
to click “File -> Compact Folders” in Thunderbird, or maybe close it out
before using the web interface. It makes sense the way IMAP works but
the users seem frustrated by it because Thunderbird hides them.
Let me know if you need more clarification!

To get a more consistent behavior, you could set Thunderbird to
When I delete a message: Mark it as deleted
To ease the deletion of those messages, you should install an extension
which provides you with a Purge-button, e.g. from
http://www.snert.com/Software/software.html
so the users don’t have to cope with “complicated” things like “Compact
folder”

hth,
Is there a purge button for Felamimail? I am considering a solution
which uses Felamimail for some things but uses Thunderbird (or Mozilla)
for other things and both share and IMAP server and directory.
Felamimail seems, at present, lack some features and capabilities which
a dedicated email clients have.
