When there is eventually an open source MAPI connector, do you guys plan to try to integrate it into your open source version? I'm kinda confused as to what exactly your company is trying to do. Are you trying to create an open source solution that all-but works for corporate situations, leaving out some key factors such as Outlook connectivity, therefore small shops could theoretically use the free version, but the big shops have to shell out the cash? (Somewhat understandable -- if you're a company, you have to make money somehow, I guess.) Or are you trying to make your money off providing a (mostly) free product and subsequently making your money off support (as a kind of a consulting company almost)? Or are you simply trying to do all you can open source and when, darn it, it comes down to either providing a feature through a third party that's making you pay them (therefore we pay you), or not providing it at all, then and only then do you make us pay you? (At which point I would wonder where you do intend on getting your money from and how your venture capitalists intend on getting a return on their investments.) I guess I'm also just wondering if you're likely to stifle or facilitate things like integrating in an open source MAPI connector when one exists in the future, due to the fact that that's one of the only reasons at least small to mid-size businesses would ever buy the Network version, even though larger businesses might want the support and the good feeling in their belly knowing they paid for something and therefore somebody had better make sure it keeps working. What are you guys?! Anyway, regardless, your stuff is really cool, even if I can't quite find a way to use it yet!
