Topic: compatiable with Apple

==== Required information ====

Hello,
Is iRedMail and iRedAdmin-Pro compatible with Apple OS X Mail client? 

Just saw this post for first time and not sure when it was placed there....

From: http://www.iredmail.org/download.html

"Full/native Exchange protocol support requires OpenChange and Samba4, but they're not integrated in iRedMail, so iRedMail doesn't provide full/native support for Microsoft Outlook clients, Apple Mail.app."

Use Apple Mail.app as a IMAP client, then it works perfectly.

So is there some additional functionality/setting in Apple Mail.app which this is referencing
or
should there possibly be a period after the Microsoft Outlook clients part?   

Meaning Apple Mail.app works find with iRedMail.

How do Mobile devices (iOS, Android, BlackBerry 10) work fine with ActiveSync (if iRedMail does not support full protocol)?

Re: compatiable with Apple

Have you tried these:
http://www.iredmail.org/docs/activesync.ios.html
"SOGo provides EAS (Exchange ActiveSync) support, but not EWS (Exchange Web Service)"
Android uses EAS for syncing mail, calendar and contacts. So does iOS. These services are provided by installing SOGo with iRedmail.

Mail.app works just fine with IMAP. Why bother with EAS? Mail.app is a pure email app. It integrates with external apps:
