Pre-requisities

Database

It is possible to use following databases:

SQLite
MS SQL
MySQL
Oracle
Firebird
Interbase
MS Access

By default, SQLite database is used. Immediately after IceWarp GroupWare Server is installed, the database is fully functional – ready to use.

Should more than 40 users be served, it is recommended to use MySQL database. It works very well, uses the sqldump backup, provides full text search for IceWarp WebClient ...

Supported clients

Allows direct access to all groupware items, IMAP folders, shared folders, access to public folders.
MS Outlook 2003 – 2010
After IceWarp Outlook Sync installation, it allows synchronization of Calendar, Tasks, Contacts and Notes. Emails can be synchronized via IMAP.

IceWarp Outlook Sync (in combination with MS Outlook 2003, 2007 or 2010 – 2007 and up recommended) is needed to use sharing and other groupware features.

Licenses

All IceWarp Server modules (i.e. GroupWare Server too) are fully functional during a 30-day trial period. After trial expiration, individual Calendars, Notes, etc. are still accessible but sharing is disabled. When the license is obtained, all shared items are accessible again (including those added meanwhile).

General Setup

GroupWare Server is installed within IceWarp Server installation. All features are fully functional immediately after installation (including the database). No further configuration is required.
