I was hoping to use the Exchange MAPI plugin as the only thing forcing me to look at Evolution is the impending implementation of MS Calendar, which will replace our existing Oracle calendar implementation. (Doesn't look like the OpenChange server plugin will do MS Calendar integration?) Currently I use Thunderbird to retrieve my email off our Exchange 2007 server via IMAP, but looks like I'll have to move to either (in no particular order): * OWA via Firefox * Outlook in a VM of our Windows SOE (I'm using Ubuntu for my main OS) * ??? * Profit! (With thanks to the underpants gnomes) I guess the main reason I subscribed to this list is to keep tabs on the progress of the Evolution Exchange MAPI plugin and start using it when it's more stable.
