Evolution 1.5.9 doesn't have Exchange connection

skermajo

Hi all

I recently emerged evolution 1.5.9.1 . . thinking that it had inbuilt M$ Exchange connectivity. Alas it does not. When i set up an account all the other server types are listed (IMAP, Groupwise, etc) but no exchange. Anyone know if it's supposed to be there by default ?

Just to experiment I installed ximian-connector-1.4.7.1 but again, no exchange.

I also have evolution-data-server installed if that makes any difference.

Anyone actually connecting to exchange ?

Cheers

Yeah I've tried ximian connector already as i said above, but it still doesn't give me the option to connect to an exchange server. Thanks for the reply though!

i'll be trying the connector later on and see if there is something to be done.

Same here, no exchange for me, even when I had a connection on 1.4. It migrated my account, but doesn't have the exchange plugin.

I had a heck of a time getting it working (on my iBook) too. It's been a while since I've done it - but I think this was the thread that finally got it going for me. The good stuff was about half way down.

LDAP, sasl, krb4, ntlm, etc, etc... it was an adventure.

I'm also getting this same problem with evolution-2.0 I had connector working just fine with exchange on evolution-1.4. I tried rebuilding ximian-connector, but it only builds for 1.4 series.

I noticed that if i choose the type as groupwise, then it grabs everything, but it shows tasks and calendar entries as email. I really need the exchange back! Doesn't anyone know how to get it working with evolution2? I swear it was supposed to be included in evolution 2.0

Thanks

I have the same problem! I really want to use evolution 2.0 with exchange. But it just doesn't work. I tried the things mentioned in one of the posts above.

Somebody: help us!

OK, it works now. I got the ebuild from bugs.gentoo.org and installed it manually. It worked like a charm.
But I don't know yet if the new evolution is an improvement. Maybe I should first get used to the new interface.
The connection with exchange is a lot faster in my opininion.
