Karmic has 2.28.1.

I've also updated my makefile for building code from the Gnome sources
so it works with the new git repositories, and it can also build the
openmapi code as well.  It's still in testing but a few people have used
it successfully; let me know if you want a copy.

I'm having very mixed results with stability; I haven't been able to get
Evo to function with MAPI anywhere near as well as I had it working a
year ago, with our Exchange 2003 server and the OWA backend.  In
particular, I've never even come close to getting the calendar support
working, and I'm seeing a lot of failures trying to SEND mail through
the Exchange server.

In short, so far, there's no chance I can give up my lookOut! running in
CrossOver and go back to Evo full time--as much as I'd love to.

That's depressing.  I have tried DavMail with a little success.  Ironically, I can't get it to run under 
gnome because it can't find the java on that machine.  It is working fine in KDE so I may end up using kmail 
if my experiences are like Paul's.
