Hi there, I have multiple desktop systems on which I want to read my Email and keep both my TODO-list and Calendar. Most of my colleagues use, of course, Microsoft Outlook combined with Microsoft Exchange. Because we do have a IMAP gateway I prefer not to use the Ximian Connector plugin and go for the IMAP protocol. Of course I cannot use the TODO and Calendar features natively with Evolution. All my groupware clients (on all desktop hosts) are Evolution, so it's okay that I will be using a Linux-only protocol.
I found out that Evolution uses something called it's Personal Calendar Server (PCS) to access both it's Calendar and TODO-list. My question now is, how do I set-up such a Personal Calendar Server on a specific host (I prefer with no Gtk+ or GNOME libs installed, I do have root on some server, but this server has no X installed for this is not needed anyway). Once the Personal Calendar Server is up and running I would like to migrate all my hosts to use that URI, so also how do I set-up (of configure) my Evolution-running hosts to use that central URI, sharing the Calendar and TODO list. Please do answer with a RTFM-like answer, in case you do I can reply that there probably is no such "FM" available online at this moment, making you look like an idiot instead of you me with that RTFM-like answer :-). Oh, if there is such a manual .. replying a pointer to it would both make the google-news archives and me smarter about this "Personal Calendar Server"-thingy. It looks like PCS is one of the most hidden features in the OpenSource world, at this moment. I could, of course, also install a OpenGroupware.org server. But somewhere in my head a little voice is telling me that this is a bit overkill for the Calendar and TODO-list of only one (or two, three) person(s). Oh, I would also like to store my personal contact list on that same server, but I guess that I can use ldap for that. Not that I ever succeeded in configuring slapd on Debian Woody (and I did tried it a few times in a hurry), but I guess someday I will. Or maybe, if somebody has some good pointers to information about putting up a ldap-server with authentication on which I can host my personal contact-list..reply :) Thanks.. -- Philip Van Hoof, Software Developer @ Cronos home: me at freax dot org work: Philip dot VanHoof at cronos dot be http://www.freax.be, http://www.freax.eu.org _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
