Re: [Evolution] Subscribing to an Exchange shared calendar

[William John Murray <w j murray rl ac uk>]

  Hm,
       this made me look again and find something interesting:

I normally set the GC server as a number, an IP address. Then I get
exactly the symptoms of the first poster.
  I just tried substituting the name (In a CVS version, ~ 2.9.2), 
and can no longer see the global address list at all in the contacts 
view.
   However, in the calendar view a shared calendar to which I subscribe
suddenly appeared.

   So I can choose - calendars, or addresses, but not both. And either
way I cannot see other users calendars.
   Maybe this helps?
      Bill
