Really unfortunate.  I will be testing Sogo real soon to see if it  
will match my expectations.  I still dont understand how Horde has  
just gone stall without some sort of announcement or simple reply from  
any of the developpers...  Are they seeing these emails?  Is horde  
officially "abandonware" from a production point of view?

Simply asking to better understand.  Its not the first time an  
opensource project goes belly up but usually there is some sort of  
announcement, or at least something informing of a hiatus in the  
development...

People have recommendations on replacements for SOHO use?  I asked  
this very question in the past and never got a reply.  Now people  
begin to see that we need to look forward....
