[Evolution] Evolution and Exchange 2007

[bgzgnome sf porterfield net]

Hi,

I've been reading the archives and searching Google, trying to see if I 
can abandon Windows while still accessing my email without the 
restrictions OWA imposes on non-IE browsers.

I started off with evolution-exchange and eventually decided I should 
accept that it doesn't work with Exchange 2007.

I then found posts (after much searching) about a MAPI plugin.  I have 
not been able to get this plugin to load, so that is the focus of my 
current post, unless there are better suggestions.

I am running Fedora 8 and have installed samba4-4.0.0r25768-16.1, 
libmapi-0.6_HOLODECK-8.5, evolution-mapi-provider-20080212.1-4.5, 
evolution-mapi-provider-debuginfo-20080212.1-4.5 via yum.

The posts on exporting variables weren't entirely clear, so I figured I 
would export all suggested to err on the side of caution.  I verified 
that my LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PKG_CONFIG_PATH were already empty and set 
them LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/samba/lib 
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/samba4/lib/pkgconfig to appropriate values.  I saw 
a suggestion to add /opt/samba4 to the PATH but that didn't make sense 
to me, since the binaries should be in /opt/samba4/bin.  I tried both, 
just in case.

When I start Evolution from the shell, I get the following (after 
checking the MAPI plugin box which does not stay checked when quitting):

CalDAV Eplugin starting up ...
libnm_glib_nm_state_cb: dbus returned an error.
  (org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown) The name 
org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided by any .service files

** (evolution:4124): WARNING **: Exchange MAPI


$ ls -l /opt/samba4/lib/libdcerpc.so.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2008-04-01 06:56 
/opt/samba4/lib/libdcerpc.so.0 -> libdcerpc.so.0.0.1

I have not been able to figure out what is different for me if others 
have gotten past this point.  I know this is a long post, but "it 
doesn't work" is really a poor post :)  Hopefully I have provided enough 
detail for someone to see the obvious that I've missed.  BTW, do I need 
a special version of Evolution for the plugin?  I'm using 
evolution-2.12.3-3.fc8.

TIA
