I have a client that has a handful of senior people and outside sales people who would seriously benefit from Kopano's features. There are an additional group of people in the office who need email, but, not the complete Kopano feature set. They would be well served by using a IMAP account client as they always have plus web access via roundcube etc.

Is it possible to have email support across the entire company with some folks accessing via Kopano using all those features, and, a second set of people using the standard IMAP features?

TIA!

    To be honest, I am not sure which features are licensed and which are not, I just thought 7.x licensing is per-user. Having said that, in 7.x Roundcube is also a paid app although it can be manually installed as well.

    Nick, thank you for your reply. I was a little concerned after I installed and activated Kopano. My question is based on my past experience with COS 5.2 and Zarafa. I had other clients who used that solution to provide Exchange-like services to a handful of staff while still providing full IMAP/SMTP services to everyone else. The licensed features of Zarafa were simply assigned to the proper user.

    I wish there was a straight forward way to effect the same type of solution with Kopano on COS 7.5.

    I don't think so unless you are into serious hacking. Both cyrus-imap and Kopano perform the function of pop/imap servers, so somehow you'd have to find a way to have postfix deliver some e-mails to cyrus-imap and some to Kopano. Also they can't both listen on the same port for the clients to pick up e-mails. I think it is a non-starter.

    You can probably have Roundcube on top of Kopano as Roundcube is only really a web based imap client, but it is pretty pointless as you'd already be paying for the Kopano Webapp for the user.
