just to share with other opressed linux users who are forced to use an
exchange server:

i work in a place where there's only an echange server, used for e-mail
and for calendars management, and the exchange server's POP service for
disabled for silly reasons.

after a month of using win2K for a workstation, i decided to install linux
(fedora core 3) and check evolution's now-open-source exchange plugin.

it works, both for e-mail, and for viewing the calendar, accepting
meetings and even accessing the address book. all i needed to do was
choose 'exchange' server when creating a new e-mail account in evolution,
and ansewr the various questions. it seems to use the web-interface in
order to access e-mail, so you'll have to know the URL you use to access
exchange from the web (which is what i did until now - this works even
from firefox). i also filled in IP addresses instead of host names, since
i don't know what's the host name of the exchange server ;)

(to recap for people who didn't follow on this: novell bought evolution's
maker, ximian, and turned their exchange plugin into open-source
software).

if anyone decides to try this and has any problem, i might be able to
help.
