The Ximian Connector for Microsoft Exchange allows Ximian Evolution clients to access accounts on Microsoft Exchange 2000 servers. It is available through Ximian Red Carpet in its own channel, but cannot be used without a license file. The license file may be purchased from the Ximian online store at store.ximian.com. Unlike the regular Ximian Evolution client, the Ximian Connector for Microsoft Exchange is proprietary software and source code is not available.
Requirements |
Ximian Connector works only with Exchange 2000, and requires that Outlook Web Access be enabled. Each user will need a valid Microsoft Exchange 2000 server account, including license. |
Ximian Connector 1.2 has added some of the most frequently requested features of Microsoft Exchange clients, including Public Folder access and calendar delegation.
The preferences dialogs have been completely overhauled for Evolution and Connector 1.2. Select Tools->Preferences from the main Evolution window to change your settings.
Public folders, posting to folders, and delegation functions have been added. You may now set permissions on folders to which you have appropriate access, and view the folders of other users who have granted you permission to view them.
Flag for Followup now works properly in both Outlook and Evolution, even when set in one and read in the other.
vFolders now function better with Exchange accounts.
The "Notes" and "Journal" folders in Exchange accounts are now readable, and you can drag items into them from other folders. Creating new Notes or Journal entries is not yet supported.
When creating a meeting request, resources such as rooms and equipment can be checked and reserved without waiting for a reply.
