Looks good. Can it be a client to a real Outlook server? I currently use evolution to at least respond to calendar messages. However, I have never gotten evolutoin to use the Outlook address book that is on our company server. I would love to move to a system that 'does outlook' as a client.

the evolution exchange connector certainly can use both a users exchange contact address book, or the global address book.

It has done so over several versions. What kind of trouble have you had? Is it possibly a firewall restriction?

I was starting by trying to access the global address book. The sys admins here are a Winders lot and know surprisingly little about what happens in their black boxes. The best I could see is that the global address book was something called: SEGROUPEXCL01.ramboll-g.global.network I guess this is an address that means something to outlook clients, as that is where I looked for this. It is not an address that is resolved via DNS. Our network is not .network. Maybe it is resolved via a windows mechanism. Is evolution expecting a name that resolves with DNS, or is ie a name it uses in some other way? Of course, right now my evolution will not run on SUSE 10.0. The current stable GNOME for 10.0 broke it. So I cannot tell you the exact text of the label where I am entering this in evolution. I an currently using kmail. I am willing to try from there, it is is supported. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems AB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
