I'm trying to use PClinuxOS at my work. We use Exchange 2007 as a mailserver, so i thought of using Evolution as a client with mapi or ews support to get to my mail.
But it seems that neither packages are in the repository's of PCLinuxOS.
Do i need to setup another repository or are they simply not (yet) in pclinuxos? If the latter, any other solutions to read mail on Exchange 2007 beside the OWA (which in Firefox is not the best webmail around...;-))
Thanks in advance.

Well, imap is not enabled by default on Exchange. Also, thunderbird lacks the contacts/tasks/calendar integration you get when using evolution with mapi or ews.
I could try davmail but i can't seem to find it in the repo's as well....
In the meantime i continue the firefox - owa setup....
Thanks.

I typed evolution in to the synaptic search and found it - I had thought that I saw that before says it is:
Integrated GNOME mail client, calendar and address bH
Evolution is the GNOME mailer, calendar, contact manager and
communications tool. The tools which make up Evolution will
be tightly integrated with one another and act as a seamless
personal information-management tool.
Is that what you wanted?

I know evolution is in synaptics. It is the exchange-mapi or exchange-ews part of evolution that is not in synaptics. Those are the library's needed to couple evolution with exchange without having to use IMAP.
I presume nobody asked until now so it is not packaged yet....

Oh I see - the repo's are all the same A package request would get them at some point but I see the section for that in the forum is missing right now. That happens when things get busy. When it pops up follow the sticky and it can be added to the repo.

I use DavMail with Thunderbird and Lightning (calendar/tasks extension for Thunderbird) at work with Exchange 2010. Works well.
DavMail is not in the repos, but since it's a java app I did not expect to find it there. Just install directly from the website.

I'll try davmail. I tested Evolution with a opensuse, but it seems to crash on me too often to be good.
thanks for the advice.
