Note: Older versions of Outlook (e.g. Outlook 2010) work with Kopano using a MAPI connector (Zarafa Outlook Client). The connector is no-longer under development so we recommend that Outlook users upgrade to the current Outlook version.

Note: Outlook can also be configured using IMAP/POP3 with Kopano should collborative features such as shared calendars etc. aren't required.

Kopano Webapp

The Kopano WebApp is a set of collaboration applications that can be accessed through a web browser. It has all the major features that users of i.e. Microsoft Outlook use on a daily basis, such as email, calendars, contacts, notes and tasks.

Kopano DeskApp

Kopano DeskApp is designed to be the bridge between WebApp and the desktop. DeskApp adds features a web application in a browser can’t, such as being set as the default email client, integrate with the file system to send any file as an attachment. Or even with the operating system so you can send emails from any office application.

Alternative Mail Clients

Any email client that supports Active Sync, POP3, or IMAP protocols can be used with Kopano for accessing email.
