Re: [otlkcon-devel] development environment - RE: Status?
Hello all, Further searching around the Unix/MAPI theme shows Evolution has covered a lot of ground. See here for their project status: http://www.go-evolution.org/MAPIProvider This matrix is interesting too: http://www.go-evolution.org/MAPIProvider/vsOWA Jerry. Kervin Pierre wrote: This is very interesting. I hadn't noticed that. These providers have been around in one form or the other for at least 10 years now, first distributed with the MAPI Provider book. We could never use them though because there was no explicit license attached to the source. But with their inclusion on Codeplex and explicit license we can now probably utilize those. I'll look into this further.

Re: [otlkcon-devel] Status?
Hello Kervin I can actively participate in development - I'm trying to establish what OC needs to get built. Which Exchange SDK are you using for the current release? Although the calendar aspect is good I'm most keen to get shared tasks up running. Sadly cannot help with funding - indeed could use some myself :) When I get Zimbra configured I will get a chance to test their connector - right now it's an MX mess :\ Any info gratefully received G. Kervin Pierre wrote: Hello, I am unable to put in anytime into the project at this time, and no one has stepped in to continue or fund development. So I would have to say the project is stalled until this situation changes. Open Connector is primarily a CalDAV connector. So I think your best bet would be to go with one of the commercial offerings out there like Zimbra Connector or ZideOne.
