When you have installed Evolution Exchange, you can access public folders and perform certain Exchange actions like delegation and password management, and subscribing to other user's calendars, tasks, and contact folders. You can also carry out any folder-related operations like adding, deleting, and renaming folders, and selecting folder permissions on calendars, tasks, and contact folders. Use the regular Mail tool for mail, the Contacts tool for contacts, and the Calendar tool for setting schedules.
If you are using both an Exchange account and a local mail account, you should be aware that whenever you save an e-mail address or appointment from an e-mail message, it is saved in your Exchange contacts list or calendar, rather than in your local account. The same is true for synchronization with Palm OS devices; tasks, and appointments.Addresses from your Palm OS device are synchronized in the Exchange folders rather than in local folders.
To avoid unnecessary strain on the server, the Global Address List (GAL) appears empty until you search for something in it.
