That email is just a work-around way to share free/busy. It has nothing to do with Exchange. Here is a quote from my posting in the thread "Sharing calendar info w/o Exchange". " Hopefully, Evolution will have the ability to publish to ftp/http in the post 1.4 timeframe..... but for now: On the server that will serve the free/busy information, create a user account to receive the email Evolution sends for publishing the free/busy information (calendar view: Tools->Publish Free/Busy Information). Setup a mail filtering tool on that account that will save the body of the email in the proper location for retrieval by others. For example, if it receives a free/busy email from [EMAIL PROTECTED], it saves the body of the email to <serverpath>/a.vfb (or whatever rule you want for the file names). Currently, I don't have an auto filter set up, I send it, then login to the server and manually save the free/busy email to the file desired. Then the Outlook users (my wife) can see it when scheduling a meeting, by adding that http path to the "Free/Busy URL" in the Contact representing me. For outlook users, you just need to specify in the options the ftp or http publishing path (can specify username and password) for free/busy information, and it will publish it periodically. You need the "Web Publishing Wizard" installed for this to work - and the server configured to accept the connection. NOTE: Currently there is a bug open on Evolution's ability to parse free/busy information retrieved from a http server.
