On a related note, I've gotten some good new from Bynari. In my<br>
opinion, if you want a fat client on Windows, Outlook with the

connector this is the way to go.<br>

Hi Matt<br>
<br>
We have decided to support k3 and are working on the new
connector. We<br>
expect to release it in 3-6 weeks<br>

Just to add to this. I also setup Outlook 2013 with Kolab. I
had all the same problems where Outlook only shows a single
Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks "folder" and all shared or other
folders on the Kolab server will get synced into this single
folder. Also I was unable to create sub-folders in the Inbox, or
additional mail folders outside of the Inbox. Any additional mail
folders on Kolab w ouldn't show up in Outlook either.<br>
<br>
On the plus side, the inbox, and single Calendar, Contacts, and
Tasks did seem to work and sync correctly.<br>
<br>
I also contacted Bynari and they gave me the same news and also
told me that the new version should support Outlook 2013. <br>
<br>
Though, it would be great if the Activesync could work because the
connector can become expensive quickly with multiple clients. I'm
not sure how many of the above problems are a fault of Kolab
activesync vs a limitation of Outlook's activesync. It seemed
even within Outlook I couldn't create separate Calendars or
Contact folders.<br>

One thing to note about the bynari connector is it uses an OST to
store your mailbox. <br>
<br>
So if you have a large mailbox, then the connector becomes
unusable. <br>
