Hi Suman, Johnny, 1st: That's great news! Thanks for all your efforts around MAPI and Exchange2007!
2nd: What version of evolution is expected as minimum? Is there any magic beside of installation, exporting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH for samba4 and activating the plugin, to get a "MAPI" or alike selection the the "Server Type" drop down? (The plugin is there and can be activated/is activated) BTW: tested on 2 systems: Ubuntu 7.02, Evolution 2.12.1 and plain debian-sid 2.12.2-1+b1 ... Couldn't test w/ 2.21.90 from trunk of svn - as the rpm's install in default libs and not into "/opt/evo/...." or alike.
