I hadn't considered that. I'll defer to Milan to make that call. I thought evolution-mapi worked with Exchange 2003 servers at least in theory; I don't know how much actual testing that's had. And I know Milan has been maintaining evo-mapi more actively than evo-exchange and has a good working relationship with the OpenChange developers. In any case, maintaining this many different backends for Exchange is ridiculous and we need to drop at least one of them given our manpower shortage. I guess I don't care so much which, and am probably not the most qualified to choose.

The thing is, all of these modules are going to require significant work to adapt to the branch I'm about to merge -- groupwise perhaps even more than the rest -- and given that I don't even have access to a GroupWise server to test the changes I'll have to make to it, I'm highly resistant to bothering with it if it's not going to have a full-time maintainer going forward. If someone were to step forward as at least a short-term maintainer that could help test the changes, I would reconsider. I will, however, release an evolution-groupwise 3.5.2 with the changes you made recently for it. That's a fair request.
