users in open-xchange

[xiao]

hi, I have a question, as it is I number limits of users who open-xchange can handle?

[Martin Heiland]

Well, the number of concurrent users is limited by the system resources. For the database, you've an int(10) field for the user id which is about 10 billion user_id's per one context and context_id is also a int(10) field at the database...

100.000.000.000.000.000.000 users when using all contexts. This should be enough for most scenarios.

Not sure if this is correct, but to make it short: there is no hard-coded user limitation, it is limited by the system that runs the groupware system.

umm another question:

I can accede from the outside to my account of mail and to send messages?

[Martin Heiland]

Yes of course, Open-Xchange uses already existing services like IMAP and SMTP which are provided by external services (like cyrus, dovecot, courier, postfix...). Open.Xchange is some kind of a User Interface to those mailservices, no replacement for them. You can use the mail account with every other product if you like, it's just imap and smtp.
