Re: [Evolution] MS Server 2008

Upgrading to Evolution 3.8.2 on Ubuntu 13.04 has improved responsiveness significantly (reply all now takes 3 seconds instead of 15 - 45). Thanks very much for this.

For the record the upgrade procedure is:

add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade

In my case, I have not yet changed from evolution-mapi to the ews connector yet connection with the office Exchange 2010 server appears to be working fine (it did ask for my password again when connecting to the calendar but after that it calendar appeared and seems to work normally).

        Hi,
as Andre's link describes, for newer (2007/2010/2013) Exchange servers
is recommended to use evolution-ews.

With at least 3.8.x version of it you also get calendar/book/folder
sharing. It's slightly hidden. Each source or folder has its Permissions
context menu option, and if you right-click the account name in the Mail
view at the left folder tree, then you get "Subscribe to folder of other
user" option, where you can access shared folders. You can either choose
one of the standard folder names, or place in a folder ID, which is
visible at (and can be copy&pasted from) the Permissions dialog. To
access Public Folders use Folder->Subscriptions... from the top menu in
the Mailer view.

It doesn't matter if any your clients use evolution-ews or Outlook, as
long as the server can handle the client requests properly. Which is not
a problem for either of the two.
        Bye,
        Milan
