[Kde-pim] kontact setup for ms exchange

[Peter Bittner]

Hi!

I believe there is still no direct support of the Exchange server's
MAPI protocol. That is the mail problem for integration onto an
Exchange 2003 server. (Note: I do not know in depth about latest
development efforts. It has been this way more that a year ago when I
tried to solve the same problem.)

Bas, when you can get your system adminstration to activate the IMAP
protocol on your Exchange server, you can safely use e-mail with
Kontact (it worked for me until our sysadmin deliberately decided to
disable IMAP access). Calendar integration might still be a problem.

I even managed to get companies' contacts listed in KAddressbook
(kabc) accessing our Active Directory. Just use the LDAP protocol; you
then need to filter the directory's output, I remember this was kind
of tricky.

Sorry for the bad news! Easy integration into Exchange is still not
available, I believe.

Peter
