You need to look for an email client that supports IMAP - I don't know of one right now, but they certainly do exist for Linux. Google will help you out. /Per Jessen, Zürich

Mozilla/Thunderbird/Seamonkey & KMail do and I believe Evolution does as well.

You only need exchange support if you want calendars and access to address lists. If all you want is access to your mail, any IMAP reader will do. -- Roger Oberholtzer

I was told that the exchange server by default uses its own protocol. If you want to provide imap, you have to buy it extra. I don't know if this has changed. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFEdY3XtTMYHG2NR9URAuFFAJ9ioLiq8kxpzUNvVYel95nwo6dazwCfS/HO cSkt197YQkAj1XbVcciITe4= =fEZC -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Exchange is IMAP for mail. All the rest (addresses and calendars) are MS' own. Having said that, if someone sends me a calendar thing in a message from outlook, evolution will use it, adding it to it's own calendar, and letting me reply (accept the apointment, that sort of thing). My wife uses evolution to access her company's exchange mail system from home. Without evolution's exchange extension, mail is accessed fine. When you set up the account in exchange, you can say it is either an IMAP or an exchange server. It is just to select. -- Roger Oberholtzer

KMail / Kontact also do this. I was very surprised (and pleased :) when this first happened - it really helps in a mixed-platform office.

Yes, but the exchange server did not include support for imap unless you paid for it extra. By default it uses its own incompatible protocol for email - unless the changed that later, it was so for NT4. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFEdZ3vtTMYHG2NR9URAmAxAJ4gjy9d4MU3t7A/oXfkhnVkuSWYCwCcCGbG 729p13z/9z2/jdmILyy8l9U= =okNa -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Could be. I think that when MS added web mail to Openlook, imap was used. So not having imap could be an old thing. I do not know. Still, try selecting exchange server in evolution. It is worth a shot. -- Roger Oberholtzer

Evolution has Exchange connector. -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Windows is a 32-bit extension to a 16-bit graphical shell for an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor by a 2-bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition.

I use Evolution with a remote Exchange server, it works perfectly for me. It should be on your CDs or DVD. James W.
