Is this for the Express version as well?

I could be wrong here, but I'm pretty sure that Express only supported Exchange/Lotus Notes. Don't think it ever did support Novell.

It would be nice if someday they expanded support to other platforms like Zimbra or Communigate etc.
I can't imagne Groupwise has much marketshare any more.

WOW. You're commenting on an enterprise solution (it offers much more than PIM & Email) with a) a web-based solution with no real market-share to begin with along with being cloud based ; of which MANY corporations will not legally accept due to the nature of their business. b) another solution that is trying to get business primarily with providers ... sounds like the old OpenWave solution that didn't last as long as well - and they partnered with feature phone manufacturers by creating browsers; long before smartphones where decent (pre-S60/Palm/WM6.1 days), data peaks where with GPRS (3G had yet to be a news buzzword), and competiting with large providers' own internal solutions??
Just about every Nuclear powerplant in the USA, Canada or S. America uses GroupWise made by Novel. There is plenty of market-share for them to be profitable.
