[Evolution-hackers] ExchangeServer 2003: MAPI or Exchange?
Hi, in my company we use an Exchange server 2003. As I'm planning to switching to ubuntu, I'm interested in using evolution for email. As i see, there are two options to connect to exchange server: evolution-mapi and evolution-exchange - What are the differences between them? - Which one is more stable? - Which one is more complete? - Which one you would suggest to use?

Evolution-exchange is far and away the more stable and complete, and it's definitely the one you should use. I had no problems with this backend for the last year or so that I used it; it was very stable and well-behaved. The evolution-mapi backend is (IMO) barely usable (it's NOT usable for me, and I have very minimal needs: just email and basic group calendaring). I'm not sure it works with Exchange 2003 at all. Here's the trick: evolution-exchange will not work with Exchange 2007 or above: it's a dead-end project in that sense. So you're in luck since you have Exchange 2003: use evolution-exchange and be happy. And you can hope that by the time your IT guys decide to update to Exchange 2007, the exchange-mapi backend will be working.

Re: [Evolution-hackers] ExchangeServer 2003: MAPI or Exchange?
Dunno if this exchange is appropriate in this list(I’m a n00b), however, in my experience evolution-exchange will work fine with 2003. Things don’t start getting sketchy until Exchange 2007, and there if you want full function you must use exchange-mapi, which is very sketchy indeed ( or at least the version I’m using – 2.30 ). I’m currently trying (with very, well, 0 success) to build a dev checkout of Evolution (2.91.4) and am having no end of troubles.. So: evo-exchange works fine w/ 2003, evo-mapi works (not really) with 2007, and imap will work with both if you don’t need full functionality (things like calendar synching etc.) Peace, V From: evolution-hackers-boun...@gnome.org [mailto:evolution-hackers-boun...@gnome.org] On Behalf Of Herbert Stiftler Sent: Monday, November 29, 2010 2:24 PM To: evolution-hackers@gnome.org Subject: [Evolution-hackers] ExchangeServer 2003: MAPI or Exchange?

[Evolution-hackers] Evolution build script
Heyas all, I'm trying to build Evolution using Paul Smith's script and having virtually 0 luck. I get the following: http://pastebin.ca/2006084 The second half of the error is what I get when I try and run the command referred to in the initial error... This happens during the 'install' and I have followed the directions I've found on the net: Remove all files from the destination dir Remove obj directory Rebuild --- But I get the same results. Can anyone suggest anything? I would really like to get this built, but I hit this brick wall.

[Evolution-hackers] Wrong factories starting after alternative installs?
Hi all; So, I've been using my makefile to build Evolution 2.32 (latest gnome-2-32 branch actually) on my Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick) system and it's basically working. However, when I start Evolution it's invoking the wrong factory apps. To start with I run evolution --force-shutdown and verify that no Evolution processes are running at all. Then I start Evolution. Now when I look for Evolution processes I see the right Evolution front-end: psmith 18271 17539 1 15:20 ?00:00:04 /opt/evo-2.32/bin/evolution But I see this incorrect (old) psmith 26043 1 0 15:21 ?00:00:00 /usr/lib/evolution/e-addressbook-factory I did already create a file So my question is, where/how does Evolution get this factory invoked? I already have added a /etc/dbus-1/session.d/evo-2.32.conf file containing: busconfigservicedir/opt/evo-2.32/share/dbus-1/services//servicedir/busconfig which is what I had to do last time (and I've rebooted since this, by the way, for other reasons). Is this still what I need for Evo 2.32, or is there something different? Any way to debug why the other factory is being invoked instead of mine? ___ evolution-hackers mailing list evolution-hackers@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers

[Evolution-hackers] Evo 2.91.x and MAPI
Has anyone tried evolution-mapi 2.91.x with Exchange server 2007 yet? It just occurred to me that I may be completely wasting my time; an activity at which I have significant experience and many fond memories, however not one in which, for the nonce, I'd choose to continue developing.

I did, just to be sure, try copying that verbatim into session.local.conf then logging out and back in, but it didn't help. I even renamed the default factories that were being started, and now I get an error when I try to access my contacts list: Detailed error message: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.AddressBook: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: Failed to execute program /usr/lib/evolution/e-addressbook-factory: Success That's to be expected I suppose but it clearly shows that dbus is not interested in my customized servicedir settings.
