Hey there Srini, list, I spoke with you the other day on IRC about the upcoming MAPI release. I'm jhbuild'ing evolution now and will check out and build from EXCHANGE_MAPI_BRANCH after everything builds correctly from trunk. What is the policy regarding committing patches to this branch? My mail admins moved my mailbox from an exchange 2003 server to 2007 without telling me first. This caused a few days of downtime and quite a bit of frustration. I'd like to start using the "official" interface to the exchange server in order to minimize this type of problem in the future. How closely is the Evolution team working with the Exchange team? I know there's an agreement between MS and Novell to not exercise patent force, but is there anything beyond that? For instance, has MS agreed to avoid dramatic, crippling changes to the protocol so that we don't need to re-write the MAPI implementation in the future? I hear that they sell licenses to their proprietary MAPI implementation library, so they have a reason /not/ to work with us on this. Looking forward to your response, C.J.
