Petition to Get Ximian Connector Ported to Mac OS X

babbage writes "There has been some talk recently on various mailing lists about getting a Mac OS X version of Ximian Connector extension to Evolution, which allows Evolution to interact with Microsoft Exchange 2000 servers much as Microsoft Outlook can. It is already possible to build and run Gnome and Evolution on Mac OS X, thanks largely to projects such as Fink. Ximian is aware of this interest, and has indicated that if enough users expressed a serious interest in buying the product -- the target number was 500 paying users -- they would be willing to produce a Mac OS X port of Connector. To that end, I've set up an petition to help gauge user interest."

  1. OT: What _is_ a good exchange client? by psxndc · · Score: 3, Interesting
    Let me preface this by saying I set up Evolution under SuSE 7.3 at home a couple weeks ago for general mail and calendaring and it is fantastic! Truly an enterprise level application. Until reading the blurb, I didn't think Evolution had been ported to OS X though. That being said, assuming that it hasn't, what then _is_ a good exchange client for OS X? I want something that can download my mail and especially my calendar. If it has been ported, great, my question is answered. Otherwise, I'd love to hear what people use.
