Holger,
The RPM was built for Evolution 2.12/OpenSUSE 10.3. But if you get hold
of the source, my guess is that you can use it from Evolution 2.4
onwards ;-)
Also, our hands were tied, as the OpenSUSE build service had a bad week
and we couldn't do much. We should be able to build binaries for all the
OpenSUSE build service supported Distros (OpenSUSE, Fedora, Debian,
Ubuntu, Mandriva) and for versions 2.12 and above (current 2.21.x). Of
course, we might need a bit of tweaking for debs in the spec files,
which aren't yet done and any one is free to do that and help us.
-Srini.

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.
Thanks,
Holger

Just to give a heads-up on what WON'T work w.r.t.
calendars/tasks/memos:
+ no meetings/assigned tasks support.. (we're waiting on a few APIs
to be made available by libmapi)
+ no recurring events [1]
+ freebusy info (the first point would make this irrelavant..
but..)
The rest of the basic features would *mostly* work..
Comparing the plugin to the current Exchange connector..
feature-wise... MAPI stilll has a long way to go.. :)
Looking forward to a lot of people trying/testing the RPMs and
getting back to us with their invaluable feedback.. TIA !!
[1] events = appointments/meetings.. unfortunately, Evolution does
not support recurring tasks yet.. so.. don't wait on that..
regards,
Suman
P.S. ohhh... btw.. Outlook notes ~= Evolution memos..

Hello guys,
This is an announce mail for the preview of Evolution MAPI
provider.
This provider can connect to Exchange 2007 servers and also
to Exchange
2003, 2000 and 5.5 (untested).
After seeing enormous interest by the users in Exchange 2007
connectivity, we have prepared a preview of the current
development code
from the branch. The evolution-mapi-provider is a standalone
rpm but in
future it may be part of the Evolution/EDS rpms. It has a
dependency on
OpenChange's ( http://openchange.org ) libmapi and Samba4.
I'm maintaining the build service project for the provider
and I'm
planning to give RPMs for OpenSUSE, SLED, Fedora and Ubuntu.
We would be
doing incremental releases of this periodically and may have
nightly
builds for this pretty soon (Don't ask me when ;-)
The below url should let you access the Samba4, libmapi and
Evolution
MAPI Provider rpms.
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jjohnny:/evolution-exchange-mapi-provider
Due to the recent outage of OpenSUSE Build Service, we
aren't able to
get the rpms ready. So I have built RPMs for opensuse
10.3/i586 alone
and is available at:
http://gnomebangalore.org/~sragavan/exchange-mapi/i586/ .
The build for the project is already queued. So it is
possible that by
the time, you read the mail, the rpms might have been
published already.
So go check out and give your valuable feedback.
** IMPORTANT - DISCLAIMER ***
* The build could be very unstable and may crash
frequently.
* Don't report these issues on to Evolution bugzilla
atm. We will
create the components and let you all know it. Mean
while, you
can write your comments/bugs at
http://www.go-evolution.org/MAPIProvider/Bugs and we
will
migrate them to bugzilla a little later.
* It is not yet feature complete. We don't have public
folders/GAL
yet. EMail subjects appear corrupted and lots of
other known
issues :)
* Most of the features are untested
* You need to export the Samba4
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/samba4/lib
* At Last: I'm not responsible for any serious
