[OGo-Discuss] Evolution 2.8 Calendar and Exchange issues.

[Edward Baer]

Adam,

Thanks for the reply.

Possibly a mis-understanding?

I am converting from a workstation using Windows 2000 and Outlook 2003
to a workstation using CentOS 5.0 and Evolution 2.8.

My problems are related to getting Evolution Mail, Calendar, and
Contacts to talk to the 2003 Exchange server reliably.

It seems like I can get visible Messages, and Appointments, and no
Contacts.  But,changes made to the Email messages, like moving them to
different folders are lost when Evolution is exited.  Same is true for
new or modified Appointments.

The only setting I could find was to synchronize folders locally, which
in turn copied all of the email to my local hard drive.  Then the
changes made in Evolution are retained, (at least locally), but I don't
want the data copied locally.  I want it to operate like Exchange or
IMAP, where all of the data is stored and retained on the server.

Also, in the previous version of Evolution 2.6 (I think), I was able to
get the Calendar function to accept changes, but the notifications never
seemed to work.

Is there a forum or well documented area for how to properly set these
up, and how to debug when it does not work?  For instance a better
explanation and examples of what an OWA URL, or Global Catalog server
name.

Anyway, the main problem is that it keeps hanging for an extended length
of time while trying synchronize the folders.  If the password is
memorized, it looks like the program is not coming up at all.

Thanks for your help in advance.
