[Evolution] Exchange: Now support for Outlook Tasks in evolution-brutus

[Jules Colding <colding omesc com>]

Hi,

evolution-brutus 1.1.1 is now available. evolution-brutus supports all
Exchange servers from version 5.5 onwards.

This new release adds read-only Tasks support to evolution-brutus. Write
support for calendar and tasks objects has been put out a few days as it
was convenient to implement Tasks right away.

Currently supported meta-features:

   1) Exchange mail account - Feature complete (unless someone asks 
      for more...)

   2) Exchange Calendar - Read-only

   3) Exchange Tasks - Read-only

 
You do not have to do anything to enable the Exchange Tasks account, all
is done automatically for you. There is one exception to this - The
Evolution components does not start up in the same order each time. So
the task component might already be up and running by the time that the
Exchange Tasks account is configured/created, thus missing the new
Exchange Tasks account. The way to fix this is:

1) Start Evolution and view your Exchange (Brutus) mailbox.

2) Open the calendar and see if you can spot the Brutus delivered
Exchange Tasks account. If not just re-start Evolution and all should be
fine when it comes up again.

The automatic creation of the Exchange Tasks account can be disabled in
the mail account configuration.

You will be prompted by gnome-keyring to allow evolution-data-server to
access your Exchange password. Accept this. The password dialog might be
hidden behind the Evolution window. Please check for this situation if
you are not asked for a password by evolution-brutus. 

evolution-brutus 1.1.1 is requiring a Brutus 0.9.26 server somewhere on
the net but will otherwise connect to Exchange using MAPI as would
Outlook.
