@rhelune I recieved a borderline rage post about the calendar feature in Proton. I do not use that particular feature of Proton so I can neither confirm nor deny it.

@rhelune
Could you elaborate a bit? Do you need everybodys calendars, tasks and inboxes to be accessed by multiple people, or only some of it?What are you using right now for these tasks and what features are important to you? - like, "need to have" and "nice to have".

@johnrohde I considered it, but am not sure if a paid solution would be an option.

@rhelune I use Thunderbird as the client. And I also self-host a CalDAV app to manage my calendars and tasks.

@madsenandersc We have AD. They are using Outlook, Outlook calendar, Outlook tasks. They need to manage the boss' stuff, I do not think they manage anybody else's, but they need to see everyone's calendars. They only need access to one (I think) inbox of the department email address itself. Oh and also, we should replace Sharepoint. I actually tested Alfresco, but nobody seems to want that. NextCloud we already have but the only time they used it for documents was when Sharepoint was down because it was hacked.
I have switched to Linux already because I just couldn't stand Win11, I use Thunderbird, but can't see other people's calendars, address book etc. So I also log in Outlook in browser. Not the best solution.

@fovir Yeah, I run Thunderbird, but because I can't see other people's calendars and the address book I also have to log in Outlook in browser. But we need something simple for our office admins.
Will look into CalDAV, thanks a lot!

Anyone using Thunderbird with (paid) Owl add-on?

Okay - this is definitely above my paygrade, to be honest.
I did look into something similar a while ago, and while I did not end up using any of it, I did find Scalable OpenGroupware (SOGo) and it seems to be a reasonably userfriendly open source solution:
https://www.sogo.nu/about.html
There is a VirtualBox disk image that you can download and test with, and you could easily convert the disk image from ova to something like qcow if you want to run it on KVM instead of VirtualBox.
If you want a solution with paid support, there is also UCS from Univention, but I don't know that much about them, other than they are German and has been in the business for quite a while - that is usually a good thing.

@madsenandersc Thanks a lot, will check those!
