Connector Features

Evolution Connector 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), and calendars, and task folders on an Exchange 2000 server from Evolution.

  • Palm Synchronization

    Supported for Contacts and Calendars on Exchange.

  • Password Management

    To change your password, go to the Exchange tool and click Actions > Change Exchange Password. If your password has expired, Evolution asks you to change your password when you start up.

• Mail
  • Viewing Mail in Exchange Folders

    Mail stored on the Exchange server is visible in the Mail and Exchange tools 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.your_domain.com" rather than "yourname@your_domain.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. Not yet supported for the Global Address List.

  • Adding vCards to the Address Book

    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

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

• Work Offline (disconnected mode).
• Recall Message function.
