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?
