Has Anyone Used Evolution in an Enterprise?

Sikmaz asks: "We have a few Solaris clients that our graphics department uses, they are now requesting access to our exchange server from those systems. They currently use IMAP to connect using Mozilla Mail but they want to view calendars and tasks. I know that Evolution works on Solaris so I am investigating using it in this instance and in a few other areas where we run various flavors of Unix/Linux. Does anyone have any experience in using the Evolution Connector in an Enterprise environment? Was it stable and how well did it scale? Since it pretty much runs on OWA should I just get another Front-end server to run OWA just for this purpose or is it stable enough to run on one of our current OWA servers? How well does it mimic all of Outlooks features, does it do all of the Calendaring/group collaboration features?"

Only email unfortunately

My experiences of using Eudora to connect to the corporate Exchange server were limited to using email, and I was unable to get the Calendar, Address Book or Task Manager to sync with the server, but this was with the stock Eudora that came with RedHat 9. Email worked brilliantly though, but I had to give up my lone RedHat box in the end for the standard XP configuration due to my lack of access to the printer and shared calendar / address book. You may have more luck with Evolution Connector though (I'm working on the assumption here that Evolution and Evolution Connector are different products).

You obviously don't conduct any significant or time-sensitive business transactions via email.
Read-receipts are actually quite useful! Kind of like the transmission log on a fax...

So's your "Sent" folder in whatever mail client you prefer.

I agree with the person you replied to... Mail receipts are stupid.
