Best email, calendar, contact server/software?
What would you suggest for something I can use to sync my e-mail, contacts, calendar, etc. with my computers and phones? Exchange does everything I want, and it's something I'm experienced running; but it's expensive, has reasonably high overhead, and in some ways is far more than needed.
Please don't make a suggestion for something in the cloud. That's not an option.
I'd even settle for multiple items to serve each purpose. For example; standard IMAP mail would suffice just fine, but to use for the Contact & Calendar sync?
The only thing I seem to find is Zimbra. Is that the only/best option?
- JonLim 15y agoWhy wouldn't something in the cloud work for you? I personally have a Google Apps account that I connected to my iPhone as an Exchange account, and it syncs my Contacts and Calendars plenty well, and gives me my mail at the same time. I presume a regular Gmail account will serve the same purpose.
- zisix 15y agoPrimarily because I don't see a reason I should trust someone else with my data. We've seen Google accounts suspended, cloud Email/Exchange companies go out of business, or they get raided by three-letter agencies. Sometimes for unlawful reasons. None of those things inspire trust.
