We don't need complete Samba4. We have a few list of libraries that we libmapi needs from Samba4. I don't have it handy, but we did made a list, during packaging for OpenSUSE, which I should be able to find out and share. > > I wasn't able to get trunk to compile at this time, but I'm excited by > the possibility of a working connector to Exchange 2007.

Password Expiry, Send Options, Out-of-Office, some of the plugin features aren't implemented. We now are into core mail/calendar/contacts. We still would be having LDAP based GAL for some time and would need to re-implement GAL using libmapi/NSPI which should be awesome. > * How many and which non-gnome external libraries will a packaged > version depend on? libmapi and samba4 would be the two non-gnome external dependencies. > * Are you proposing for desktop or external dependency?
