Novell To Release Ximian Connector Under GPL

Posted by timothy on from the free-software-creeping-in-and-leaping-in dept.

ashmodai9 writes "According to this article on LinuxToday.com as well as this press release directly from their site, Novell announced that its "Connector for MS Exchange Server would be integrated into Evolution 2.0 and made available as open source, beginning today with the current Connector 1.4." Apparently, downloads will be available for the current version of Evolution starting May 14th." Thanks to reader crafterm, a snippet from Novell's Connector website: "With the Connector for Microsoft Exchange installed, Evolution functions as an Exchange client, enabling users to become full participants in company-wide group scheduling and other collaborative tasks. Linux and Solaris users can access public folders, Global Address Lists, email, calendar, task lists, and group scheduling information." Update: 05/11 17:58 GMT by T : In related news, ChiralSoftware writes "Codeweavers' long-awaited sequel to Crossover 2.1 is here. Just like the old version, the new version lets you install MS Office on Linux desktops. The new version adds support for Outlook XP, Lotus Notes and Microsoft Project."

      Complexity is Easy. Simplicity is Hard.

    And what about categories? In Windows you have to add them to the registry

    Please be so kind and back your statement with some reference to a KB article or something saying that there is a problem and that the only way to add categories is by editing registry!

    I never have to touch registry when editing contact categories. Or we might be talking about two different things and you haven't even cared to be more specific.

    Not using Java would mean that:

    1. It wouldn't take 10 minutes to start up
    2. It would be quicker than using a pigeon to deliver the messages.

    Just use the BSD section - they are basically the same thing.
