I think the Exchange connector plug-in is a great idea, and I hope it brings Ximian lots of money -- enough to justify continued development of Evolution and their other cool stuff. (In fact, I'd really be interested if Ximian let us know in the future how successful the product was.) Of course, I probably only say that because I'm not an Exchange user. :) But I don't think we have to "start again," as you say, if some day Ximian creates a free alternative to Exchange Server that works with Evolution. Since we're on that topic, Ximian may be thinking about charging for that server software. If they do, I hope they keep in mind that people like me have 3 systems (work system, home computer, and laptop) that I like to keep synchronized, and I'd hate to have to fork over big bucks server-side software I'm using personally. Even better is if it will be GPLed. :) Cheers, Jason. _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
