I like Unix, in it's place, but I'd love to see all these "I know better, exchange is crap" people supporting an alternative in a real business.

Yes, it does have glitches and I do need to use evolution --force-shutdown on occasion. But for the most part - it works. Sometimes my in box doesn't show all the emails in it if Outlook client is running on another machine; but if I only run one at a time, then it is pretty reliable. The main problem that requires forcing shutdown is if the connection is interrupted (wireless...). But recently our company installed a tool called Vipre. When someone sends me an email that has been scanned by it, then the email still shows up in evolution, but the header information is not discernable by evolution. It merely places question marks in the From, Subject, and Date fields. If I click on the email in quesition, the header information is there, but in the list of emails, it is not. So I got curious as to why this happened with some emails and not others. I printed out the email sources (using view message source), and header information from evolution and can basically see no difference. So on an outlook client on another machine, I looked at the header on the same email, and it only shows a line that says X-Vipre Scanned. This is true for every email for which evolution will not display the from, to, and date information on the email list window. Has anyone seen this and is there a solution to correct it.

My settings: Ubuntu 9.10 Exchange server: Microsoft hosted Exchange server.

DavMail Settings: ---------------------------- OWA: https://xxxxx.mail.microsoftonline.com/owa local POP port: 1110 local IMAP port: 1143 local SMTP port: 1025 CalDav http port:1080 ....

Otherwise, this will delete the mails on the server. Sending Email tab: SMTP settings: localhost:1025 username: xxx@yyyy.com That's all Let the Davmail server running. And evloution mail client picks the email up. You will also be able to send the emails using the Above SMTP server settings. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Coming to the calendar settings: Please choose a Caldav settings as caldav://localhost:1080/users/xxx@yyy.com/calendar where xxx@yyy.com is your actual email address in all the above references I used. Thats it. Your calendar will pick the events from the Exchange server and it shows up on your evolution client. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enjoy using your Ubuntu and your evolution for ever. :) Thanks, Venkat Here is another update
I was able to get the same things worked on evolution also with DavMail.

My settings:
Ubuntu 9.10
Exchange server: Microsoft hosted Exchange server.
Email client: Evloution 2.28.1
DavMail email gateway: downloaded this little piece of software from http://davmail.sourceforge.net/

I started experimenting with the same set up of DavMail.
Here are the settings.
DavMail Settings:
—————————-
OWA: https://xxxxx.mail.microsoftonline.com/owa
local POP port: 1110
local IMAP port: 1143
local SMTP port: 1025
CalDav http port:1080
….
I did not want to change these default values for my Davmail gateway client.

——————————————————————————————

Then lets go to evolution mail settings:
I had used POP and SMTP settings for my email.

POP server settings:
Please note that in evloution mail client there is only one text box for server. There is no entry for port. Hence I kind of used the server as “localhost:1110″ (without quotes)
Server: localhost:1110
User: xxx@yyy.com

Also in Receiving mail options:
Please check the “leave copy on the server” option as checked. Otherwise, this will delete the mails on the server.

Sending Email tab:
SMTP settings:
localhost:1025
username: xxx@yyyy.com

That’s all Let the Davmail server running.
And evloution mail client picks the email up. You will also be able to send the emails using the Above SMTP server settings.

——————————————————————————–

Coming to the calendar settings:

Please choose a Caldav settings as

caldav://localhost:1080/users/xxx@yyy.com/calendar

where xxx@yyy.com is your actual email address in all the above references I used.

Thats it. Your calendar will pick the events from the Exchange server and it shows up on your evolution client.

————————————————————————————————————

Enjoy using your Ubuntu and your evolution for ever. :)
Thanks,
Venkat

I installed the DAVMail gateway and it is downloading the messages from the Outlook 2007 rightway. My company moved to exchange 2007 on Microsoft's hosted server just two days back. The exchange doesnot support IMAP. So, I had to go with OWA URL. This little mail gateway is the best thing and I was able to download my messages. It says 976 out of 1952 messages are downloaded. Cool tool. My email client: Thunderbird. My OS: ubuntu 9.10. But I essentially would love and also look after evolution plugin for exchange 2007 :) Thanks, Venkat Mantirraju Thanks to Line Noise for this wonderful and nice tip for the ubuntu folks.
