Wow, .. what a shame! Google is a neat company, .. but WAY to 'Big

We have used mailserv for many years (OpenBSD based), but it no longer has
commercial support, and is missing some of the groupware options.

Sorry, no way no how - I will not use Chrome! Two issues for me -
unless something has changed recently, there is no way to manage cookies,
nor any way to block JS.
