NUREMBERG, Germany, September 22, 2009 – Open-Xchange, the leading provider of open source groupware, now gives users the ability to consolidate any kind of existing webmail accounts – for example from Google and Yahoo -- into a folder in Open-Xchange so they can managed more easily.
In addition, users can now integrate and merge their address books from Google Mail Gmail and Facebook into Open-Xchange. New contact details are added automatically providing users easy access to the latest contact information – all from one place.
“Open-Xchange follows the path of Social OX, which we announced in July, to add new features that break the silos of isolated information, whether that is e-mail, contacts, calendar information or documents,” said Rafael Laguna, CEO of Open-Xchange. “This latest release is another step forward to integrated and effective teamwork.”
Open-Xchange recently introduced a new groupware concept called “Social OX,” which aggregates e-mail and contact information in one place -- whether personal or business -- avoiding time-consuming searching and giving users access to information anywhere, anytime and with any device.

• Publishing document folders and sharing documents with users who do not have Open-Xchange accounts without sending large file attachments via e-mail.
• Importing contacts and appointments to private and public folders.
• Exporting contacts from private and public folders as CSV and vCard formats.
• Improved functionality of team calendars.
