Is There a Linux Client Solution for Exchange 2007?

Posted by timothy on from the switch-to-postcards dept.

CrazedSanity writes "I have been working at my state job for about 7 months now, using the Exchange plugin for Evolution to check my email. Very recently the higher-ups decided to migrate to Exchange 2007, which effectively destroyed my ability to check my email through any method other than webmail (which means I have to constantly refresh/reload the webmail window). I'm sure somebody else has encountered the problem, but I'm wondering if anybody has come up with a working solution?" Note: CrazedSanity's looking for a client that will work with Exchange in a situation where replacing the Exchange install with an open-source equivalent isn't an option.

      If Office 2003 worked, then Evolution would work.

      Nice KB Microsoft: "The eliminate of the creation of Public Folder store and the connection from this Public Folder store to the mailbox store."

      Apparently working with Exchange 2007 also causes brain damage...

    If your job requires Windows, perhaps maybe you should, uhh, install Windows.
