I seem to be completely out of the loop. I've been looking in the  
Open-Xchange.com site for any confirmation of the info in this email  
and I can't find anything.

So, could somebody tell me where this info comes from? The change  
from PostgreSQL->MySQL is nothing to us compared with the removal of  
LDAP!

Thanks,
-Mario.
