Exchange MAPI Connector

[Srinivasa Ragavan]

Hello everyone,

For Evolution 2.22 we should be having MAPI based Exchange connector
which developed in parallel with Openchange based libmapi. The team is
currently working on that and the code is currently maintianed at GNOME
SVN in EXCHANGE_MAPI_BRANCH (both for evolution and
evolution-data-server)

http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/evolution/branches/EXCHANGE_MAPI_BRANCH/
http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/evolution-data-server/branches/EXCHANGE_MAPI_BRANCH/

I created the branch yesterday and we committed our week long effort
there. We now have a working account setup plugin, base camel/calendar
code and a partially working addressbook impl. Things should get to a
working shape in another week or two. I hope that soon, Johnny would be
able to create a OpenSUSE Build Service repository (rpms for OpenSUSE,
Fedora, Ubuntu and few more) for Evolution and its dependencies so that
users can install the rpms and get a feel of it even before the
release.

-Srini.

This may be like the happiest news for quite a number of users..

Myself included.

(Now.. if only it will work for the oulook web-based email like
previously or be able to export/use RPC over HTTP)

Please, remember to notify release-team and everybody else on
desktop-devel about the new introduced external dependency for
evolution-data-server and evolution.

Thanks you.

Does this mean that evo + e-d-s will go GPLv3?

Frederic, I dont think we can take it as a enforced dependency right
away as libmapi depends on Samba4 which is just in aplha1 now. It might
take a while before Samba4 releases and we take that and libmapi as
external dependencies.

Im not sure if we can make/ask those alpha versions as external
dependencies.

Anyways thanks for the information and the trigger :)

Jules, as I replied in a previous email thread, Im working with Novell
legal team to modify the license to either GPLV2 or later or
dual-license Evolution/EDS under GPLv2 and GPLv3. I dont have yet
received the final nod. But the mapi providers/plugins are developed
under GPLv3 which can be a issue now, but may not be after the license
change.

Well, even if it is a optional external dependencies, it should be
announced, moreover because of the samba 4 implied dependency and the
GPLv3 compatibility issue it brings.

There is never too much information to announce ;)

Srini,

I understand that there are some licensing issues around the whole Exchange Mapi connector for Evolution.  Do you know if there is any time line on resolution for these issues and or when there will be a release for Evolution that allows for a mapi connection for Evolution and / or an RPC over HTTPS connection for Evolution.

Thanks.
Greg

License change is completed.

This is expected to be in 2.26.
