About Gromox
Gromox 3.13 adds scripts to move Exchange-for-All systems onto it.
Gromox ships a numbered release roughly monthly. 3.13 adds scripts to convert E4A systems to Gromox, full two-way sync of IMAP keywords with MAPI categories, multi-message vCard export and audit logging in emsmdb and zcore, and fixes an EWS gap where any user could answer, alter or move meeting requests in other mailboxes. 3.12 moved MAPI-to-internet conversion onto VMIME with RFC 2231 filenames; 3.11 added IMAP FETCH BINARY and Sent Items copies for send-as and send-on-behalf on shared mailboxes.
