Hello everyone,
For Evolution 2.22 we should be having MAPI based Exchange connector which developed in parallel with Openchange based libmapi. The team is currently working on that and the code is currently maintianed at GNOME SVN in EXCHANGE_MAPI_BRANCH (both for evolution and evolution-data-server)
http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/evolution/branches/EXCHANGE_MAPI_BRANCH/ http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/evolution-data-server/branches/EXCHANGE_MAPI_BRA...
I created the branch yesterday and we committed our week long effort there. We now have a working account setup plugin, base camel/calendar code and a partially working addressbook impl. Things should get to a working shape in another week or two. I hope that soon, Johnny would be able to create a OpenSUSE Build Service repository (rpms for OpenSUSE, Fedora, Ubuntu and few more) for Evolution and its dependencies so that users can install the rpms and get a feel of it even before the release.

Great news - my smart packagemanager's config window is already open and witing for that build service repo :) Does this mean that the new Exchange Server will be supported (2007 I think)?

AFAIK, the new MAPI plugin/provider "can" support 5.5, 2000, 2003 and 2007. But I'm currently developing with 2003 and 2007 and it WORKS. -Srini.

This is very good news, I *think*: I wonder whether this means an end to the nasty, brutish slowness of EVO with the exchange connector? An end to the "not working-ness" of accessing shared calendars? And, what about the question posed earlier: will this enable remote access to exchange message store using rpc over http? Or, will we still have to use the OWA as our system connection?

It wont speak to OWA any more. It (libmapi) does RPC :) -Srini. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I really donno. I may have to see libmapi docs/* for this. -Srini.
