3.6 Feature: Exchange support in Online Accounts (or GOA)



Here is a feature proposal to add support for Exchange accounts in Online
Accounts (or GOA): https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointFive/Features/GoaExchange

Online Accounts (in Git master) has been taught how to handle Exchange accounts
using Exchange Web Services [1]. This means that a user can go to the Online
Accounts panel in System Settings and enter his account details. If this turns
out to be a valid account, the details will be accessible to other applications
using the org.gnome.OnlineAccounts service.

What remains to be done is to make Evolution listen for new Exchange accounts
configured through GOA just as it does currently for Google accounts.

Exchange is quite well known and widely used, and it will be fourth provider
to be supported by GOA. The other three being Google, Facebook and Windows
Live.

Happy hacking,
Debarshi
