[Evolution] Some questions about Exchange Web Services

[mike _ <arizonagroovejet gmail com>]

I'm very interested in the use of the Evolution with Microsoft's
Live Edu service and find myself with some questions I can't find
answers to.

I've got it working (after some guessing at server urls) with
Evolution 3.2.1 on openSUSE 12.1. There is a package in the openSUSE
12.1 called evolution-ews-0.31 the  version number of which is 0.31

- Would I be better off building a version from a tar ball or git
checkout of  the 3.2 branch than with this openSUSE 0.31 package? I
can't work out what version 0.31 actually is. By which I mean, none of
the branches in git are labelled with a version that starts with a 0
so I've no idea how this version in the openSUSE repos relates to
what's in git or if it's a horribly obsolete version. (Perhaps this a
question best asked of those who made the package.)

-  Is the functionality of equal across all the git branches? I've got
a machine than has Evolution 2.28 so I'm wondering if I'll get the
same functionality in terms of Exchange Web Services with 2.28 as with
3.2.

- Is there a definitive list somewhere of what is supposed to work and
what is currently known to be not working? (E.g. Autodiscovery doesn't
work for me, I had to figure out what url to put in manually. Which
took numerous attempts. Global Address List doesn't either doesn't
work or is so slow that it doesn't return any results after I entered
a search term and left it 15 minutes.)


thanks,
