Evolution Exchange Features

Evolution Exchange supports the following basic Microsoft Exchange features:

• General
  • Remote Exchange Information Store

    Allows you to access mail, address book (including the Global Address List folder), calendars, and task folders on an Exchange server from Evolution.

  • Palm Synchronization

    Supported for Contacts and Calendars on Exchange.

  • Password Management

    To change your password, go to Edit > Preferences and select the Exchange account. In the dialog box, under Exchange Settings tab, the Change Password button is available. If your password has expired, Evolution asks you to change your password at startup.

• Mail
  • Viewing Mail in Exchange Folders

    Mail stored on the Exchange server is visible in the Mail component in Evolution.

  • Sending E-Mail via Exchange Protocols

    If you use the Microsoft Exchange mail transport protocol to send e-mail, make sure that the address you have entered as your e-mail address is exactly the one that the Exchange server has on file. This might be "yourname@exchange-server.example.com" rather than "yourname@example.com".

• Calendar
  • Meeting Request/Proposal

    Allows Evolution users to schedule meetings and view attendee availability for other users (Evolution or Outlook users) on Exchange.

  • Adding iCalendar Meeting Requests to the Calendar

    If you receive an iCalendar meeting request and add it to your calendar, it is saved to your Exchange calendar.

• Contacts
  • Address Completion

    Supported for your Exchange Contacts folder.

    If you receive a vCard attachment and click Save in Address Book, it is saved to your Exchange address book.

    New Address Book entries can be created on Exchange from received e-mail messages with a single click

• Work Offline (disconnected mode).

There are, however, some features that are not available:
