Toltec™ Connector

  
  Overview:

The Toltec™ Connector is middleware that enables Microsoft Outlook to use an IMAP4 server while still using the functionality of the “Corporate or Workgroup” mode instead of “Internet Only” mode.

This exciting product provides Microsoft Outlook with the ability to use an IMAP4 mailbox as an Outlook information store. This information store can hold any Outlook item and is not just limited to messages.

You will now be able to share calendar information, individual folders and contacts with supported IMAP4 servers. Most of the IMAP4 servers are open source and runs on a variety of operating systems including Linux. This significantly reduces the total cost of ownership to the company.
