SOGo

SOGo is a lightweight webmail and groupware solution that serves as a simpler, faster alternative to OX App Suite. It provides email, calendar, and contacts in a clean interface with lower resource requirements. SOGo is an education-specific Beta component in openDesk Edu.

Key Features

• Lightweight webmail: Fast email client with minimal resource consumption compared to full groupware suites.
• Calendar and contacts: Shared calendaring and address books with CalDAV and CardDAV support.
• ActiveSync support: Native mobile sync for email, calendar, and contacts on iOS and Android.
• Low resource footprint: Runs well on smaller deployments where OX App Suite would be overkill.
• Easier administration: Simpler configuration and maintenance for institutions with limited IT staff.

Integration with openDesk Edu

SOGo integrates with openDesk Edu through Keycloak-based SSO using SAML 2.0 and OIDC. Users access mail and calendar from the unified Nubus portal. It deploys as a modular Helm chart as an education-specific Beta component. SOGo is a lightweight alternative to OX App Suite and Grommunio for email and groupware. Persistent data is backed up through k8up.
