In short: 30k users, 40k mailboxes, 100M emails and calendar entries migrated. The client is Thunderbird. The server / web side is handled by Open-Xchange, hosted by a local provider with the same name (AFAICT), which also offers commercial licensing for the otherwise-AGPL suite.

The service gets operated by Dataport AöR. Dataport is the primary service provider / datacenter of some german federal states and owned by them.

They client is mainly Open-Xchange AppSuite Web UI, some people use Thunderbird on top. There are also thousands of mobile devices, syncing via IMAP, SMTP, CalDAV, CardDAV.

Open-Xchange is most likely a more effective name for the combination Cyrus IMAP, postfix, etc.

  • Instead of guessing it's an easy lookup. OpenXchange is an app suite that's been around for >20 years. It's not some random ad hoc combination of software.

    The email server underneath is dovecot btw.
