My boss stipulated that we have to use the Exchange/Outlook calendaring
(to schedule meetings, request time off, etc) so I use it at work. It
was a bit buggy when it first came out, but it seems to work fine now.
There are still a few minor issues:
e-mails with blank FROM: headers are not displayed
sent items are put in your local 'sent items' folder
autocomplete for e-mail addresses won't search the global
address list
Stuff like that. For the most part, no real problems. Ximian is aware
of the three that I listed; should be fixed by next release.
Evolution itself (without the connector) doesn't do too well with
Exchange. You can use it to download your mail via pop3, but you won't
have access to the groupware functions. IMAP works half-assed.
Probably M$ broken^H^H^H^H^H^Henhanced IMAP.
