Frosti,

MAPI connector that we are working on now, will enable you to connect to MS Exchange 2007.

Whats the status of Microsoft Exchange 2007 support? Now that Evolution has a working spam filter, this feature could be what is needed to rival the email finesse of Mozilla Thunderbird.

Miguel, We don’t have any embedded support. Just that now you can type in your favorite editor that pops up during composing. We will look about embedded widget in future. Thanks a lot for your suggestions Miguel

zombiepig, you are right. That is the plugin that provides Google Calendar support.

Wow.

Am amazed, these are just incredibly good news!

Support for Google Calendar will be a god send (I still use Evolution for Calendar, and this keeps me isolated from other things). Love it, love it, love it.

The external editor seems brilliant. Am now used to the composer, but I know many people will be happy.

Question: will Emacs be “embedded” or not?

Anyways, am glad to see Evolution continuing to improve. Only recently I upgraded to 2.12.0 from whatever version SLED had and I have to say, your work is awesome.

Keep up the good work!

A happy user.

Alejandro,

Edit->plugins (check if Google Sources is enabled)

Go to calendar,
R-click on the left side,
-> New calendar
1. Type Google
2. Enter a name of your calendar
3, Give a username, press OK. (See other settings also)

You should have it after your password.
