[Evolution] Bug 579185

[David <dkreider uark edu>]

I reported this bug on 6/18/2009.  Does anyone know if there are any 
plans to fix it soon? Essentially the bug is that the MAPI plugin cannot 
authenticate to an Exchange server that requires SSL access. Servers 
that don't require SSL are readily accessible.  There is no option in 
the MAPI setup to select SSL like there is on IMAP access.  I am not a 
programmer, but from what I can understand this bug has not been 
assigned high priority.  It is a critical issue for many users.  Many, 
many servers are requiring SSL and the number is likely to increase.  A 
huge number of users cannot use Evolution since they are limited to IMAP 
email access.  I love Linux and Evolution, but my job requires full 
access to Exchange Server. I really want to dump Windows.   Does anyone 
know if there is any plan to fix this problem, and how it can be 
elevated to a critical issue?
