No, it's the - still valid - spec of the dialogs under the Edit/Database sub menu. (Well, probably you'll find the one or other minor item which has been superseded by reality meanwhile.) > But more interesting: I saw a note about Evolution, in "4.4 The > Connection Type wizard" . I guess that is old info as well... (see issue > 67600). Is implementing a bunch of work? The Evolution section is up-to-date as well, but the Evolution driver is available for Linux only. Issue 67600 requests access to Groupwise on Windows, which is a completely different story. Since the Groupwise AB is claimed to be accessible via MAPI, I would have assumed it works out-of-the-box with the "Windows Address Book" database type, which is for this purpose (accessing the AB which is exposed via MAPI). So, speaking strictly, that's probably not an ENHANCEMENT, but a DEFECT. I cannot really judge the effort for fixing this. Given that the real MAPI-access code is in Mozilla (OOo ships with a few Mozilla libs implementing this), it might turn out difficult. Also, when we ever touch this area, I'd rather go the way of removing the dependency from Mozilla code (which causes constant problems for various reasons), and implement an own MAPI SDBC driver, which probably wouldn't make it easier ...
