Comparing Software Editions
|
ClarkConnect is available in different Editions:
Enterprise Edition
The Enterprise Edition is designed for businesses, organizations and individuals who
need a commercially supported server/gateway product. The edition provides the full
set of server/gateway features including advanced networking and firewalling. In addition,
every new Enterprise Edition release is maintained for at least 5 years.
Community Edition
The Community Edition is designed for home users, hobbyists, and those who do not
require technical support. With a software lifespan of two or less years,
the edition is geared to users that like to keep up with the latest and greatest features.
The edition is limited to 10 mailboxes,
and includes basic networking options.
The software is provided as-is - technical support is not available.
Office Edition
The Office Edition has been merged with the Enterprise Edition. Details

| What is a mailbox? |
A user is defined as an account on the system. A mailbox
is a user with optional e-mail services enabled. Mailboxes not only
store mail messages, but also contacts, calendars, task and notes.
Example -- Consider a retail store with 30 part-time
retail sales clerks and 10 full-time staff. 40 users are configured in all, but
only the 10 full-time staff require e-mail. The part-time staff only use their
account to login for Internet access.
