This is the first I've heard of a licensing problem. That worries me a bit, and I'd like to know more (presumably under NDA). I've asked my PS contact.
I probably shouldn't have been, but I was recently sent a developer-only build that fixes many of the problems we saw in 5b3. So I can tell you that they definitely *are* making progress, though you (and I) would prefer it to be faster, and it's clearly not 100% yet.
We have been having some interesting conversations on our campus as to how close to 100% it needs to be. We have decided that we at least need to wait for 5.0GA, because surprisingly, nearly 20% of our remaining active GW users have Tasks. We also consider Outlook 2007 to be important.
If you are mainly interested in migrating email, imapsync is faster, and seems to work fine with the GroupWise 7sp2 IMAP server. Reading messages via IMAP sometimes caused previous versions of GroupWise 7 to crash.
Obviously this isn't entirely Zimbra's problem. If GW was perfect, we wouldn't be talking about migrating away from it.  |
