        This decision will not bring back one person to the paid version. So goodbye Kopano, RIP.

          Thanks for update. It is disappointing news for sure, I would like to hear from Kopano in this forum. Ever since the Grommunio incident in early 2021 there has been lots of confusion and uncertainty. I have my thoughts on what’s really going on but they are just thoughts and I’d just add to the rumor mill if I shared them.

          So I will join the sentiment that this project is dead and I would be surprised if it is revived. What a way to go out.

              Is there any official announcement about this?
              Or is this the new kind of transperency they promised ?

                ab Minute 1:38 oder so ähnlich mal reinhören.

                Aber meiner Meinung nach wurde schon lange nicht mehr ehrlich Seitens Kopano kommuniziert.
                Und hier Thomas von bytmine truxt auch nur rum. Keine klaren Aussagen!
                Das betrifft nicht nur die Community sondern auch die Verkaufsversionen, wo man gerade mit Ach und Krach auf die schon längst aktuelle Debian Versionen aktualisiert hat.

                      as mentioned above
                      they stopped developing the community version because too many users switch from payed subscriptions to nightly builds.

                      many of these users tired to get support without a subscription in community forum from kopano employees and so kopano stopped community support for all

                      the last sentence of this mail
                      it has not been decided when and if there will be new releases for community and up to date nightly builds

                                What a pity. I’ve used this groupware since the Zarafa 6.x days…

                                There’s no real hobbyist offer either. I myself have a mail server with 6 accounts for my family. Their solution starts at 150€/year for 10 users… And I won’t definitly pay for my private mail system.

                                Of course Kopano can do whatever they want with their software, they should just make an official statement about it then. It’s been
                                What they can’t do is stopping redistribute the source, because their license stipulates AGPLv3… But since the git repositories haven’t been updated since november 2021, I guess they stopped doing so.

                                Whatever, Kopano has burnt me already once, when stopping their Zarafa Home Edition.
                                Again, it’s their software and business, so they don’t need to consider users like me which don’t bring money at the end of the day.

                                Time has come for me to seek an alternative.
                                There are AFAIK a few 100% outlook compatible groupwares:

                                • Sogo (with EAS support), totally free, existing since 10+ years
                                • Grommunio, a kopano/zarafa fork, free up to 5 users, reasonably priced for more, with I guess a nice admin panel, exists since 1,5years or so

                                The Grommunio reverse migration path frightens me a bit (no export to PST) as seen on their internet site.

                                I dont’ have any experience with those Groupwares yet, as I always sticked to Zarafa/Kopano.

                                Can anyone comment on those ?

                                RIP Kopano. I will remember you for what you once were.

                                  Doesn’t the mobile connection to sogo cost something?
                                  Kopano can also only import pst no export!
                                  I myself will wait until the middle of next year to see how Kopano develops.

                                    AFAIK it’s always been totally free. Although recently there’s a commercial build by french company Alinto.

                                    Kopano can also only import pst no export!

                                    Yes, and it’s usually a bad point when no real export tool exists (eml files isn’t just a good method). At least Kopano ship Gilles Lamiral’s ImapSync which allows to workaround missing export functionality, even if it’s a more a mess than it should be.

                                    I myself will wait until the middle of next year to see how Kopano develops.

                                    So do I, but it’s good to know which solutions exist beforehand.

                                        As I did not found a new community build and reading throug this thread doesn’t increase my good feeling with my Kopano installation, I thing @deajan and @Sinux are right.
                                        We need to think about a migration path to another solution.
                                        I am currently looking at OpenXchange (OX App Suite) as alternative or extend my NextCloud to fullfil the groupware job (with missing of ActiveSync which is really a pain for me).
                                        Does anyone of you have a history with both options?

                                        Thank you

                                          ActiveSync is not nessesary for us, CalDAV and imap are working great. OX ist written in Java and Java sucks :) and the “webmailer” from nextcloud is lousy.
                                          I will try to patch the 5 user licence from gromox/grommunio - it should be open source.
