I am talking about MAPI, yes.  I was able to connect to a Google

I'm also having problems with the Global Address List using MAPI.

GAL is quite new there, still needs polishing.

I still haven't found the time to categorize these issues more fully.


Note if you guys are able to connect to OWA, it means your Exchange
server is Exchange 2003 or earlier.  I hope that Milan, at least, has
access to an Exchange 2007 server to do testing;

Even I can on both, then I tried this on 2k7 only.

I was actually quite
happy with OWA capabilities and stability (and it took a lot of years to
get to that point, unfortunately!) but my company moved to Exchange 2007
so OWA is no longer an option for me.  I think Evo MAPI <-> Exchange
2007 is going to be the most common deployment.

Is there anyone who can describe which features of Evo 2.28.x are
expected (hoped?) to work with the MAPI backend?

I guess it's supposed to be here:
http://www.go-evolution.org/MAPIProvider/vsOWA
but it wasn't updated for quite a long time (11 months actually).

Also, it would be good if someone could give an update on the status of
the Evo "master" branch--I know there was upheaval due to the
kill-bonobo merge.  Is that settled down yet?  Is that branch worth
testing?

I've not much idea what to say about the overall status, but yes, it
sort of settled now, and yes, it worth to testing it, as testers are
needed here for sure. Here's a list of known regressions after
kill-bonobo branch merge:

and eds-dbus merge:

the most bad bug from my point of view is the
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=597648
which is causing semi-random crashes in dbus because of threading used
in evolution quite much. That's the actual observation at least.

        Bye,
        Milan
