What _exactly_ do you mean by 'connect to an exchange server'? I ask because for some people it means 'read my inbox' while others think it means 'look and feel exactly as Outlook does.' There's a world of difference between them, and probably solutions for several points in between. What capabilities are deal breakers if missing, and which ones don't you care about? ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support my apologies for not being clear. i need to be able to view/reply to emails within my inbox and the folders inside, and also view/edit my calendar - all of this is hosted on an exchange server of course. There is a project under development, which does native MAPI for communication with Exchange servers, allowing access to all types of objects (folders, shared folders, calendar, contacts...). You may want to have a look at it: http://www.openchange.org/ The functions are bundled into a library (libmapi), making them available to all applications that care to use the library. Early versions of interfaces to the library exist for Evolution and the KDE PIM framework Akonadi. - Adolf if any further clarification is needed, please let me know. :) so again, as i'm very green with linux, how difficult would this be to get working on an OpenMoko Freerunner phone? You probably want to use a readily made package. I do not know if OpenChange is already available pre-packaged for the architecture the Freerunner use, but there are packages for Ubuntu and Debian. Here I found a recipe for making the Debian package: http://wiki.openchange.org/index.php/Debian This should be applicable to the Freerunner's architecture. But sorry, I can't do this. and honestly, which model should i look at purchasing? ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support

Re: OpenMoko + Exchange
I can see my calendars (events,meetings shared with outhers). I do not have however calendars in shared folders, if that is what you are reffering to. I can write emails, however I did not try to write (probably would not work) event/meeting invitations. Pine is a command line tool, so if you have a terminal it should work, and building it should be straighforward. Will try it soon, once I will get my decend environment on openmoko. good luck! mobiphil On Tue, Sep 29, 2009 at 5:17 PM, not12listen not12lis...@gmail.com wrote: Nicolas Dufresne wrote: I also use IMAP over exchange to read my office messages, just ask your sys-admin, it's simple and secure. regards, Nicolas Le mardi 29 septembre 2009 à 15:39 +0200, mobi phil a écrit : pine as IMAP client (http://www.washington.edu/pine/ ) works fine for me with MS Exchange server. regards mobi phil http://mobiphil.com On Tue, Sep 29, 2009 at 1:01 AM, not12listen not12lis...@gmail.com wrote: bringing this back from the dead... i've been off the OM boards for a bit, but my interest in owning one has not diminished in the slightest. my question still stands... is there a reasonable method by which to connect an OM device to an exchange server? in all honesty, if there is, i'd run out and buy one tomorrow... :) again, i am VERY green when it comes to linux, but is there a way to package the Exchange connection add-on of Evolution to either Claws, Openmoko Mail or Qtmail? or, is that idea much like re-inventing the wheel? -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/OpenMoko-Exchange-tp2152518p3732419.html Sent from the Openmoko Support mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support -- rgrds, mobi phil being mobile, but including technology http://mobiphil.com ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support firstly, thank you to everyone that has chimed in. :) secondly, yesterday i reconfigured Evolution Email on my Kubuntu box specifically for communicating with our hosted exchange server via IMAP. to say that it was problematic, would be an understatement. i'm sure the error was on my end. i did some research on what IMAP can and cannot do - by what i read, it cannot do anything with the exchange shared calendars, even my own at that point. if that is accurate, then unfortunately, that is a show stopper for me - my ability to read/edit my exchange calender is absolutely required. this goes back to why i was curious if something similar to Evolution with its Exchange capabilities exists on the OM platform or not. and, i just did some more reading. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998606.aspx if i'm not mistaken, M$ does offer a manner by which IMAP4 Rev1 can share out the calendar function via an IMAP type connection. also, Mobi Phil, do you used the shared calendar function as well as just the standard email portion? if yes, would PINE run on an Open Moko device? -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/OpenMoko-Exchange-tp2152518p3736932.html Sent from the Openmoko Support mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support -- rgrds, mobi phil being mobile, but including technology http://mobiphil.com ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
Re: Broken Freerunner.. display ok, messages.. repairable?
there was also a guy with a FR with a broken screen... I have a freerunner with a cracked touch membrane. My friend thinks it could be fixed, but I haven't found an independent source of the part. (haven't tried hard) A used freerunner wasn't much more $ than a repairand I may have a use for a tiny Linux box even if you can't do Input.
