VaKo Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I'm after an exchange compatible mail client for linux to use with my corporate email account, preferably one that supports connections over http in addition to mapi (IMAP and POP3 have been disabled). Anyone know of one? Bonus points if it does not have a silly name. You loose points for telling me that I should be using a linux mail server or similar.

King Vako doesn't have the answer nor the GoogleFu skills to find it? It's the end of the world!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 The only one I know is Evolution mail, but it only supports up to exchange 2003. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 I just thought I'd ask as the only thing I could find was an Evolution plugin that appears to be a dead project and tbh I'm not a huge fan of desktop linux. This does appear to be a huge problem for linux, the outlook web access client is ok but its no Outlook. To be honest, I think I'm going to have to install WINE and run Outlook 2007 on top of this.

Sparda Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 To be honest, I think I'm going to have to install WINE and run Outlook 2007 on top of this. The 2007 installer crashes under wine for my self. I got 2003 installed, but I can't add a email account because it crashes when I open the email accounts menu.

VaKo Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Fuckit, I'll stick with Vista. Ubuntu seems ok for home use but its impossible to do work on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SETone Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 always sad to hear about users wo have to change back to windows. anyways, here is some information about the subject: http://blogs.gnome.org/sragavan/2008/01/21...e-2007-preview/ -SETone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bit Hunter Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 As far as i know there is PUSH support in Evolution. You can use a OWA portal to tunnel traffic through Evolution. If you have OWA, i would stick with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reflux Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I think Evolution will support Exchange 2007 if you use the Openchange eplugin. It is supposed to actually implement the MAPI protocol instead of using OWA. I never used it before since I just webmail if I'm not on windows. http://www.openchange.org http://wiki.openchange.org/index.php/Evolu...d_Configuration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5ive Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I was messing with this about a year ago - I could not get outlook 2003 to connect to exchange under wine however I was able to get it working using crossover instead of wine. I used a win2k bottle and then went into the control panel, mail applet to setup the exchange account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
