There is a camel provider as part of Connector, but that's just to let evolution-mail talk to the evolution-exchange-storage backend. The calendar and addressbook parts are handled by the respective IDLs for those components, the same way the wombat handles the local calendar and addressbook folders. Connector also implements the GNOME:Evolution:ShellComponent interface, because that's the easiest way for it to get itself launched and get access to the shell. It uses the shell IDL to create the Exchange folder tree. (The wombat doesn't need to do that because the shell adds the local folders to the tree itself, and the addressbook component adds the LDAP folders.) > Or currently, I can > define a Free/Busy URL for each user in the address book, say using FTP. > However, doing this require the user to setup the URL manually?

The PCS is not a "server" in the way you mean. You can use the code as an example of how to write a calendar backend, but it won't be directly useful for creating a multi-user calendar server. -- Dan _______________________________________________ evolution-hackers maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
