How to configure Evolution for MS Exchange Server 5.5?

Have you already installed the:

 evolution-exchange - Exchange plugin for the Evolution groupware suite

package...?

Thank you

No..I just have standard installation of Evolution which comes along with Ubuntu CD. I have not installed any evolution updates.

I think evolution-exchange package adds support for MS Exchange Server 2000 and 2003 and not 5.5...

Go up to the top taskbar and click on

System - Administration - Synaptic Package Manager

use one of the search tools to look for "evolution-exchange" and install it.

Good luck with that

Well, it doesn't say that it doesn't support 5.5 so i think it's worth trying and then click on the "Mark all Updates" and click "Apply"

Hopefully that should sort it out ;)

Good luck with this

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the reply..

But...

    I installed evolution-exchange and when I tried to connect to the server it gave error message,
"The server is running Exchange 5.5, evolution-exchange connector supports 2000 and 2003 Server"

Please help !

Thanks,

Well..this doesn't solve my problem..At least somebody tell me, if whatever I am looking for is possible or not !

I dont know. There are a lot more people on the front-desk now and so it's worth posting this again as a new separate question. Sadly this thread fell through the net and doesn't seem to be attracting any new attention for a few days so repost it.

I tried re-posting it too...Sadly it seems no1 is interested in taking this issue :(

Anyways, thanks tom for replying..

I am keeping this issue open..in case any1 comes to help me...

Ok, good luck. I think maybe no-one knows that is around at the moment. Perhaps try posting as a bug in some way - that sometimes gets a developers attention! Also it's worth trying to find forums that are specific to the Evolution and to the Exchange packages. Probably a google search is also worth trying. If you do find an answer elsewhere then please post the ansewr back here as we clearly don't know and need to.

Thanks and regards from
Tom :)
