In that case, I have a question: How would one go about using Evolution
to share calendars between users in a corporate environment without
going the Exchange Server (and thus CALs) route? Would something like a
separate connector be needed? Currently, I know of no open-source
solution to this problem. I can currently build an IMAP server that
supports acls and shared mailboxes, combined with an OpenLDAP server
that supports address books and authentication. The only thing missing
would be sharing calendars.
Any plans for another connector? (Or publishing specs for writing a
connector? Not that I'm a developer, but I'm sure SOMEONE would like to
know about this - Bynari, maybe...?)

Ximian Connector does not eliminate the need to pay MS for the Exchange Client Access Licenses (CAL). The CAL is the license for accessing the Exchange account, regardless of the client whether that is Outlook, browser access, or Evolution + Connector. On Sun, 2003-02-09 at 14:23, Steven R.

There were some features that they required that Ximian did not provide. I submitted enhancement requests for each feature that they required that Evo + Connector didn't have. On quite a few, I was told that "patches would be accepted", but they are not going to work on them. The company decided to buy another pack of 10,000 Exchange Client licenses instead. _______________________ Steven Ringwald Asric Consulting email: asric asric com web: http://www.asric.com _______________________
