[Kolab-devel] Kolab 16 for Debian

[Andreas Cordes]

Hello @all,

I'm glad to hear that Debian will be in the focus as one of the 
primary distributions in the future.

May be the main reason is, because some of the debian derivates are used 
on SBC like Raspi, Banana Pi, Odroid and so on like I do.

In the past I tried to install Winterfell on my Raspi but failed because 
of the dependencies of Guam and Erlang.

When I understand your other mail correctly, it is only used for filtering 
folders presented to the client.
May be to simple, but what about an IMAP Proxy? Sometimes I use an IMAP 
proxy for the web to improve performance because of many connections from 
the webserver to the IMAP server.

So I can give it another try to upgrade my version 3.4 to 16 in the "near 
future" :-)

Kind regards
Andreas
