Hi,
I am looking for information how to connect evolution to MS exchange
mail server. The institute switched the mail server to MS exchange.
The temporary solution is outlook on XP on VirtualBox, but this is
not preferable. Any help is great.

evo-mapi is probably the future, but it's not there yet.
There's a patch in Bugzilla to fix the problem with interminable
rescanning, but it hasn't been incorporated yet. I don't know about the
other crashes you've experienced--I haven't had a chance to get that far
yet.

I used to have a link to them, but I don't think it was 42tools.com.
Nevertheless, that seems to be where most Web links point to, and
there's no reference to it there.

Hi
MAPI seems get evolution connected to exchange server, but crashed
frequently. I'd like try Brutus. How to configure Brutus?
In Evolution Account Editor, there is a session 'Brutus Settings', it asks for
Exchange email address
Window Domian
Brutus Server
Brutus Server port
Can someone explain what are these, in particular the brutus server and port?
Thanks

The easiest solution for you (the user) would probably be using IMAP
to have Evolution retrieve email from Exchange - if it's enabled on
the Exchange server.
If you, or someone else, can convince the Exchange owner to enable
IMAP, that is.

I think you need to install the exchange plugin with
# yum install evolution-brutus

This is the source of the evolution-mapi plugin currently in F11.
We are still on Exchange server 2003 so I can use
http://www.saunalahti.fi/juhrauti/index.html
Looks like an OK workaround for mail, but apparently won't do calendars,
etc.
POP and IMAP are turned off in my case.

evolution-brutus is only one of several ways of using Exchange with Evo.
The MAPI plugin is another. I recommend taking this to the Evo list

Sounds pretty good - except I think the server was open source and
that version (up to 1.0) is still available with some googling. I found
a binary of version 0.96.36 and source for 1.0 i think.
Do you have links for those?

But it feels like the developer (single?) is trying to go commercial
with julia which seems to based on brutus. So the code probably is at a
standstill but is available under GPL.
If one were to install a kvm with win xp in it, we should be able to
run brutus server in that - tho i dont have visual c++ to compile it.

What I've picked up from the discussion is this: You need to run (or
have your Exchange admin run) a Brutus server on a Windows box. The
Brutus server connects to Exchange Server via the MAPI interface. You
set up Evolution to connect to the Brutus server, and you interact with
Exchange via the Brutus middleman.
This would be all well and good, except that recently, nobody seems to
be able to locate the Brutus developers or find a current download for
the server. My guess is that the server is not open source, as the devs
would have had to sign an NDA with Microsoft to get up-to-date specs for
Exchange MAPI. Whether it's inexpensive enough to run one's own server
is another question we can't answer without access to the developers.

I'd like to know too - best I can tell, however, brutus will talk to a
brutus server - which runs on any desktop witrh user privs only (not the
exchange server) and uses MAPI to communicate with exchnage server and
in turn then passes it to the evo brutus client.
However I didnt seem to find a copy of the sever (see
http://www.ohloh.net/p/3184 for example).
Let us know if you manage to find the server and get it working

I'm not sure how to configure evolution-brutus (I'd like to know,
because I'd like to try it), but there are a couple of alternatives to
consider as well.
* There is an OWA connector called evolution-exchange that works
(more or less) with Exchange 2003 server, but not with Exchange
2007. It crashes frequently, but is at least functional most of
the time with the somewhat limited features that are provided
through OWA.
* There is a MAPI connector called evolution-mapi that is supposed
to work with Exchange 2007. Right now, it has a but that makes
it close to unusable--it rescans the contents of the Inbox (and
maybe other folders as well) every time you switch to them.
There's a patch in Bugzilla, but there hasn't been a release
pushed yet with the patch.
