Just to give a heads-up on what WON'T work w.r.t. calendars/tasks/memos: + no meetings/assigned tasks support.. (we're waiting on a few APIs to be made available by libmapi) + no recurring events [1] + freebusy info (the first point would make this irrelavant.. but..)
The rest of the basic features would *mostly* work.. Comparing the plugin to the current Exchange connector.. feature-wise... MAPI stilllllll has a long way to go.. :) Looking forward to a lot of people trying/testing the RPMs and getting back to us with their invaluable feedback.. TIA !! [1] events = appointments/meetings.. unfortunately, Evolution does not support recurring tasks yet.. so.. don't wait on that.. regards, Suman P.S. ohhh... btw.. Outlook notes ~= Evolution memos..
