Re: 64bit time - Re: [otlkcon-devel] Open Connector Progress Status

Yes we had to get someone with MAPI service provider experience on board. I see. That is very good. I would imagine not a lot of people exist with that expertise. This has sped things up tremendously. I am sure. Too much of my time was spent experimenting with the MAPI API in the past. How would people go about testing? Just using the message store? Are there any specific things that should be done/noted etc? Right now this is 'developer' testing. We are trying to get to user beta testing. That's the May 1st milestone. There are unfortunately too many un-implemented features for user testing right now. I see. snip 4. LibIcal needs to be converted to 64bit time utilizing windows time API. ( Approx. 40-120 hours ) snip snip Perhaps you could put the above tasks into the Sourceforge task list for your project? Provide more detail and allow the community to track the project? I would be more then happy to perform that task if you want. I Thanks. That would be appreciated. I haven't had much time for administrative tasks. Ok just add my sourceforge ID (charlesnw) to the project and give me the appropriate level of access. I will add the tasks tonight. snip --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

I can't help you there, because I've never used that DLL.

[otlkcon-devel] Free version of Visual C++ 2005
Hello everyone, I came across this link today on slashdot and thought i would share http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/ It is a free copy of Microsoft Visual C++ 2005. Perhaps it will help all the people who want to hack on the open connector project but can't afford Visual C++. I know it will allow me to do so. I hope this spurs a major increase in the amount of people/effort associated with this project!!

Re: [otlkcon-devel] List problem, and hello
Philippe Torrelli wrote: Hello everybody, As I never did before, I think it's time for my hello mail. Ah another lurker. Welcome aboard Philippe. The more the merrier :) I've been reading this list for a few weeks, trying in parallel to study Kervin's work , Microsoft mapi documentation, outlook object model and inside mapi. Well. Any questions/comments/suggestions? If so this is the place. The people here are exteremly smart and talented. I'm working as a developper for Right Vision, a software company in France that sells server appliances. Server appliances are all in one servers ( read mail, web, file, print, vpn, calendar and many other ... ) managed through a web interface, built on a mix of both proprietary and free software. Sorry if it is not clear, I find it hard to explain it in french already . No. It is quite clear. From a quick glance at http://www.rightvision.com/ it seems to be a very stable and mature/polished solution. My company wants me to improve the publication of the collaborative functions ( basically contacts, and agendas ) of our servers into outlook. Very cool. You have come to the right place. :) I think a mapi store provider is what we need ( in opposition to an addin and a synchronization approach ) so that we can add shared contacts/calendars folder into outlook. I'm not sure I fully understand the pros and the cons for us to add a store provider versus replacing all ms store's providers, and I know almost nothing about transport provider - tried to focus on store providers and mapi things. Well I advocate a full and complete implementation of exchange 5.5 protocols and backend stuff. This has been discussed by lkcl using the otlkcon code and freeDCE under linux. My current learning process is reading inside mapi, browsing messages and folders and so on with outlook spy, trying to understand how outlook ( and or mapi ) behaves ( where does this form come from ? do we need to provide a form manager ? should named properties be listed in getprops ... ) running sample code under the debugger trying to figure out how things should work. Take a look at sapimapi. It is what the otlkcon project uses. http://openconnector.org/sapimapi/ It is best to use free software as much as possible in the development of free software. I am sure that sapimapi has limits and so forth compared to outlook spy. Feel free to document these things, and what you need to be added/improved. If you don't do that, developers won't know what to add. Oh and feel free to submit a patch to add the needed functionality. I don't know how I can contribute to the project ; but I'll be happy to do so when I feel more comfortable with the technology ( and if my company decides to take the 'mapi provider way' ), at least sharing experience. I agree with Jason that sharing knowledge and experience is certainly a timesaver for everyone. Indeed. If they do decide to go with it and want to help fund it, please see http://sourceforge.net/donate/index.php?group_id=66565 Funding is very important and this project is of great importance to the entire IT industry. Your company has a unique opportunity to greatly improve the entire software landscape at this critical point in time. Beside of that I have an administrative question to the project owner. I noticed that posts sent to the list are seen as sent by the originator of the message, and not the otlkcon-devel list. It's annoying because hitting outlook's 'reply' option makes the reply addressed only to the originator of the message and not the list. My feeling is that parts of the discussion is not in the list is not because of it... Can sourceforge's ml tools be configured to have such a behavior as all message sent through the list are seen as 'from the list' ? yes it is possible to configure the replies that way. it is an age old battle on level with vi vs emacs.
