1&1 is working with Funambol to deploy a push email solution, integrating with OpenXchange, already used by 1&1.

Funambol's solution is dually licensed: client under the GPL and server under the custom HPL license for the Community Edition, and under a commercial license for the Carrier Edition. The HPL license is based on the GPL, with the precision that distribution of software as a service is the same as distribution on a physical media.

Client and server bundles, together with several SDKs, are available for download. Several community projects are also developed, with as examples connectors for Zimbra, Gmail, SugarCRM, etc...

As Funambol also provides professional support, could this be the right solution for a company looking to deploy a push email solution?
