o Description:
=======================

The OPEN-XCHANGE Collaboration and Integration Server Environment allows
you to store appointments, contacts, tasks, email messages, bookmarks,
documents, and many more elements, and share them with other users. It
can be accessed via any modern Web browser and multiple fat clients like
MS Outlook, Palm devices, KDE Kontact, Apple's iCAL, Konqueror, Mozilla
Calendar, any many more, based on open standards and interfaces. Third
party products can access this application over many different
interfaces such as WebDAV (XML), LDAP, iCal, an API, and HTTP/S
