!!! note "Important Notes"

    * SOGo provides __EAS (Exchange ActiveSync)__ support, but not __EWS
      (Exchange Web Service)__.
    * __Outlook__ 2013, 2016 for Windows works well with EAS.
    * Mainstream __mobile devices__ (iOS, Android, BlackBerry 10) work well with
      EAS, they can sync mails, calendars, contacts, tasks.
    * Apple Mail.app, and Outlook for Mac support EWS. But not EAS.
    * Outlook 2010 for Windows supports MAPI.

    iRedMail doesn't integrate [OpenChange](http://www.openchange.org) and
    [Samba4](http://www.samba.org) for native MAPI support.
