That's because OpenGroupware doesn't *need* to provide a client. They support standards, so all the existing clients Just Work. Although the Kolab format is open (IMAP+ftp access to vcards, etc.), it's not a protocol combination any existing clients support, or are ever likely to support, so unlike OGo Kolab has to make their own client.... For example, look at Evolution or Mozilla. Both work with OGo. Neither work with Kolab. It's again getting back to openness. OGo lets you choose your clients. Kolab doesn't. OGo lets you choose your servers. Kolab doesn't. later, chris
