I'm hoping to integrate a shared folder(s) so that we may be able to drag and drop files from various OSs into a shared folder on a CentOS server which can be accessed via Scalix SWA or some other email client.
Maybe I'm totally off base with how Scalix stores files in public folders... maybe everything has to be in mbox format for all folders and this could never work.....
Anyway, I started thinking about Samba and Scalix in combination and was wondering if anybody knew of a way to perhaps use the combination to do what I want? I'm still very green with regards to Scalix.
Thanks, John Hinton
I think Scalix community edition does not support shared folders.

Yes, it does, up to 25 users.
Using it here.

Yup. But there is a point of confusion within the docs. I don't remember where I ran across it but in one of the help files somewhere it said it was not supported on the community version but others told vaguely how to do it. And it worked and is working.
Now to answer my own question....
The SWA does not support drag and drop of files to public folders. Thunderbird does not support drag and drop to public folders. Outlook does support drag and drop to public folders. I can only assume Evolution does as well but haven't tried.
As a side note, there is a add on for Thunderbird which is called Lookout which can read the winmail.dat files created by Outlook. What this does is if you drag and drop a file to a folder using Outlook, T-bird can then see it and download those files.
The one thing about installing Scalix... If you do, you have a Scalix mailserver. Sendmail has to be set for local delivery only, so other standard outside emailing has to be handled by Scalix and configured through Scalix. I guess a person could create a virtual machine and get both on a single server.
Best, John Hinton
