Outllook replacement

[Matt Graham]

The Exchange plugin for Evolution is not free, correct?  The client itself
is...but just not the exchange connector.

Once evolution gets the bugs worked out, it will be a fantastic app.  It's
really helping my wife, who is used to Outlook, move to linux.

windows stuff, especially the mail server.  Mostly because of the time
involved - financial shortages, and (thus) staff shortages.  On my campus
where I am at, this semester they just upgraded to Exchange 5.0.  Exchange
2000 will probably never happen.  Unless I graduate first.  4.0 & 5.0 both
don't work with Evolution.  I still use evolution, and am able to receive
all e-mail.  I am able to send e-mail within the local network.  But not
off-campus.  They system administrator's explanation was far-fetched.  Then
again, I don't know how MS Exchange does things.  Probably by scratching an
inode here and there at random with a paperclip.  Also is going through a MS
Proxy supporting about 50 times the amount it can handle.  It could be
either or one of them.  I don't really have a way of telling.  Nothing in
evolution fixes the problem, however.  I've spent a bit of time sniffing
here and there, but cannot real!

administrator gave me some half-witted, half-madeup explanation reminiscient
of most MCSE's.  (c;  Oh well.
