outdated now. I’m going to update it with the current version of Evolution.
Considering that EPlugin is deprecated now, I need to rewrite this function in
EExtension. After communication with Mr. Woodhouse, some upgrades will be added
after renewing this tool. Activesyncd, the standalone daemon used in this
project to communicate with the server, is using GConf to store its
configuration now. Since GConf is deprecated, it will be replaced with GSettings
and dconf. Also, we will spawn an ‘ssh-askpass’ process silently when trying to
login in the remote server, but the more proper way to do this is to open a
prompt window asking user for their password. More features will be added if
the tasks listed above could be finished ahead of schedule.</font></span></p><font color="#000000" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">

account using a GUI rather than a bunch of command line operations, this work
will help them setup things easily. They can configure their Exchange ActiveSync
accounts using Evolution’s GUI guide just as other protocols like POP, IMAP,
etc.</font></span></p><font color="#000000" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
