Connector for MS Exchange Server
by thesimplefix on Tuesday 11/May/2004, @15:52

I would like to see the newly GPL-ed 'Connector for MS Exchange Server' offered by Novell integrated into Kontact by Default. This would be sweet!

The source can be downloaded from:

See above. Kontact and KDEPIM already have groupworking and Exchange options.

I know that korganiser had an Exchange plugin, but a similar technology for KMail - so that it can talk to Exchange 2000-2003 servers in their native protocol rather than using IMAP.

I agree. Kmail should be enterprise ready. That includes allowing users to connect to enterprise groupware servers using their native protocol. I don't like it any more than anyone else, but Exchange has a huge market share and shouldn't be over-looked. IMAP is a work-around but not a real solid one. Anyone who has had to support an Exchange server with many different clients using IMAP (myself) should agree that Exchange (2000) doesn't not handle IMAP very well. We have had a few corrupt mailboxes because Exchange choked when an irregular message was retrived via IMAP. The native protocol does not have this problem. Also, true calendar/out-of-office integration is demanded by our business model. Intergrating with Exchange may be troublesome, but if done right, would pay huge dividends in making the KDE desktop truly enterprise ready.
