I'm glad I persevered with eGroupware - it looks as if it should be 
superb.  While I'm still only beginning the learning curve, its features 
do seem to be just what I was looking for.

One (of many) problems I'm having, however, relate to configuration/email...

At the setup phase, I get this rather un-nerving warning:

However, I've installed PEAR::Auth_SASL - and running the command gives me:

> $ pear install Auth_SASL
> Ignoring installed package pear/Auth_SASL
> Nothing to install
> $ pear -V
> PEAR Version: 1.6.2

I've included the pear version info because all the problems I've found 
via google have related to a Pear version of below 1.6.1.

Stumped by why the installation test for SASL failed, I ploughed on to 
see where it took me.  The answer to this, is as far as trying to access 
my (working) IMAP server...  eGroupware reports:
> *The connection to the IMAP Server failed!!*
>

I'm stumped as to quite what is wrong - it might be that SASL isn't 
working; it might be that eGroupware is having a strop that my SSL Cert 
for my IMAP server doesn't match the FQDN I'm using... or it might mean 
that I've been bamboozled about how to configure eGroupware and it needs 
me to configure usernames/passwords somewhere I've not found.  Any hints 
about this would be much appreciated.

On a more positive note, the address book (once I've got the hang of it) 
combined with Infolog (assuming it continues to behave as it appears to 
at the moment) are exactly what I was looking for.  What's more, I'm 
loving the integrated document management, issue tracker - and might 
even make use of the timesheet facility in future.  eGroupware is an 
excellent find... Thanks... (all I need to do now is overcome the 
configuration glitches...)
