Hi,
I have setup a kolab openpkg version 2.3.4 which currently serves a group of 30 users. It's a mixed client environment, the majority of users runs Outlook 2007, some have 2003, a few use Thunderbird and one user works with Outlook 2010. For the 2010 version we purchased the Bynari Connector. The Bynari Connector is advertised on the Bynari Website as follows:

Features:

• IMAP Idle support
• iCal/Kolab Groupware Format Support
• Folder Sharing (RFC 4314 compatible)
• Support for Outlook 2003-2010          (full 32/64 bit support)
• Quota Support
• Out of Office
• Mail Forwarding
• Terminal Services
• Reminder Manager for Outlook
• Roaming Profiles

After the installation we found that several functions don't work. For example, hitting the button for out-of-office functionality just launches an error message, saying that this function is not licensed! Since it is part of the announced feature list on the Bynari Website, i contacted the Bynari support and received the following answer:

>As you can see from the license those features are not licensed. They're not listed in the license. They are Premium Exchange features that need to be purchased to be >activated as it states on our website: "Bynari Outlook Connector now supports: Out of Office, Mail Forwarding, Terminal Services, Reminder Manager for Outlook! These >optional features can be purchased individually or as a discounted package. Currently Out of Office, Mail Forwarding only work with BCS’s IntelliPanel." >Also, Out of Office, Mail Forwarding will only work if you have our Admin interface (IntelliPanel) Now, we're asking ourselves what we purchased this plugin for? Has anyone made similar experiences? I'm feeling like being bluffed by Bynari. Cheers Dirk
