Overview
The core of Kolab functionality is a mission critical application at the heart of every business: Email, Calendaring, Contacts & Tasks. And because open heart surgery is to be avoided, Kolab does not lock you into any particular platform or client, such that you can choose freely in the future which applications, platforms or solutions will best serve your enterprise needs without needing to go through perilous migration scenarios.
Kolab allows you to handle your email fast and efficiently, including server-side filtering and pre-sorting, shared email folders with colleagues, or among departments. Shared folders allow following public mailing lists efficiently and make their history available to everyone. Group based access control lists avoid unnecessary administration overhead, and ensure no loose ends are left dangling. Server side rules can also filter your outgoing mail based on your requirements. Check outgoing recipients against robinson lists to avoid prosecution for unsolicited email, and much more.
