Evolution Email Client and Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Connectivity Problem
Does any one know if the Evolution will work with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007? I’ve client and she needs to connect to corporate Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. The problem is - connectivity doesn’t work. If anyone has any information or workaround please comment back.
Update 31/Dec/2007: Rocky pointed me to a thread about MAPI based plugin. It claims to works with Exchange server 2007.

Have you tried the openchange MAPI plug-in for Evolution? It’s only a TP at the min but there next release is due out next week I think.
Hi,
since we just migrated to Exchange 2007 I can tell you, that Evolution will (i guess: for a long time) not be able to connect to Exchange 2007.
Evolution uses the Webfrontend to communicate. Since this is a complete rewrite for 2007, evolution is pretty useless.
She can only use the frontend or use Outlook in a Virtual environment or remote desktop.
If anyone knows better, I am happy to hear.

But by using OpenChange it uses MAPI and not the webinterface.
Paul, it doesn’t work.
Philipp, you are 100% right. Just talked to someone at Novell support and they said it is unsupported. I ‘ve forwarded idea about using frontend or rdesktop.
I Appreciate all feedback!
Let me get more info about OpenChange, thanks!
Hmm, that’s a right pain. I was getting all excited about migrating to Ubuntu / Evolution in a dual boot environment. I guess I’m stuck with OWA or IMAP now…
Thanks for the definitive answer anyway!
Have a look at the Evolution-Brutus connector and server. I believe this provides a solution to Evolution/Exchange 2007 connectivity.
