What does no API mean here? I can see in meetings I have to that the room has type Resource and Role is

so to me there is an API but Evo does not take advantage of it.

        Hi,
I was talking about the Location entry, which is below attendees. There is no API to populate it with 
available rooms, the same as there is no standard way of identify the 'contact' type in vCard 
3.1, which evolution uses. The vCard 4.0 standard has added attributes which can differentiate the contact 
type, but evolution (and the evolution-data- server) doesn't use it right now.


I see but there should be some way to just find available rooms, similar to how OWA handles that:
An Add Room button which lists all (available) rooms and then adds the selected room to both
Location and Attendees.


Pref->Calendar and tasks->Publishing Information
Not sure what this is for w.r.t EWS.?

Ah, I see, you do not need it for EWS calendars. The option is there to publish your Free/Busy information 
to a 3rd-party place. The EWS calendars do not need it, the server takes care of the 
free/busy information on its own.

Ahh, good to know.


I am unable to Create a new meeting in EWS Calendar as Evo thinks this calendar is Read Only
nor can I change my own status(I always read Needs Action for all but the Organiser) for a
meeting I have previously accepted.


If evolution thinks your calendar is read-only, then both "changes" described above may fail. The reason 
for this read-only state can be correct, aka when the server reported it, or you may face a 
bug in evolution, which got a workaround in time of 3.13.9 or 3.13.8 development version, thus will be part 
of the upcoming 3.14.0 release (in time of GNOME 3.16, this spring). If I'm not mistaken, 
then there usually helped to open evolution in the Calendar view, with the EWS calendar enabled, before 
dealing with meeting invitations in the Mail view.
        Bye,
        Milan



hmm, I restarted my Evo and now the Calendar is NOT read only. I guess something happened during the holidays.
We are just adding Exchange 2013 and are still testing stuff before going live.
BTW, I am currently using 3.13.9, dunno if that makes a difference though.

hmm, one again the Calendar quit, trying to refresh the EWS calendar i get the msg "Calendar is offline" and
I have to restart Evo to get it back(online). It seems small errors has a way to make the calendar offline and
it will not recover. 

Finally, I cannot get the Status field to reflect my actual status, it is always Need Action
even for Accepted meetings, trying to change that does not work either.
