What is the Exchange server version?

There is
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=evolution-mapi or
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=evolution%20exchange .
The latter is basically dead as it only supports Microsoft Exchange
2000/2003 with OWA, as evolution-mapi supports Exchange 5.5, 2000, 2003
and 2007 server via MAPI (as would Outlook).

Uh... examples?

There have been many fixes in 2.30 and 2.32.
2.28 is more than one year old, so the first step in getting involved by
reporting bug reports would be to run a recent version.

Reports never get removed, for the sake of having archives and
transparency. Version information in a bug report can provide a hint.
