Has anyone tried installing or upgrading to Mac OS Catalina and does Kerio Connect work OK?
I have emailed GFI/Kerio Connect support and also had my salesperson contact them and all I hear is CRICKETS....
If anyone has installed Catalina - please let me know if you ran into any problems with Kerio Connect.
Thank you.

I'd wait 6 months (or more) to use any new version of macOS for a server. The only way I'd run anything important on a newly released OS is if an emergency replacement machine absolutely required it. And I get around that by keeping a spare of my server hardware handy, so I'm not dependent upon newly released hardware as well.
If an older version of the OS is working fine, then stick with it.
I've run servers on macOS, Mac OS X & classic Mac OS (6, 7, 8, 9) for 25 years and by following my own advice, I've had solid, reliable systems for myself & clients.
Remember, you don't need any of those fancy features for a server-just the basics.
Cheers,
Jon

I run Kerio Connect on a Mac Mojave Server.
I still have heard nothing from Ian and even sent a follow up email.
We are back to crickets again...
Their webpage lists Mojave in the system requirements but not Catalina... so I am guessing they are making little to no progress.

this failed miserably.
Right after installing Catalina and rebooting, Kerio stopping scanning for viruses and said it cant connect, the FullSearch Text feature stopped. I opened a urgent ticket and support doesnt know why this doesnt work.
Ugh......
They had me update to Kerio Connect 9.3.12 Beta 1 and said that would fix it and it DID NOT.
So I am sitting here with Anti Virus turned off, FullText Search turned off, the Chat feature turned off, because all they do is continue to send errors and attempt to start and they fail.
My renewal is coming up and am seriously considering another product.
I even asked Kerio before I purchased - which platform is the most stable out of all the platforms you run on and they said "they are all stable doesnt matter which one you choose". Wrong!
You cant even click on the Support Information button to email the logs to support because its been broken for atleast 10 months...
Update after update and things dont get fixed.
