[Kde-pim] Interface to MS Exchange Server

[Thomas Schabetsberger]

Dear all,

I have one question: What are the plans to support the MS Exchange server from 
Kontact or Akonadi?

My team is using Linux / Kubuntu, but we are forced to do all the groupware 
stuff with a Citrix connection to a Windows mashine with MS Outlook, since our 
company uses the MS Exchange server. (Btw, I also do not see a really working 
and reliable alternative for MS Exchange). 

Right, I can fetch the emails using the IMAP protocol. But what about Calendar 
and Contacts? I have tried davmail for translating the protocols, it is not an 
alternative as its unstable, shuts down at least twice a day. 

There are even Mobile Apps that can do the communication with MS Exchange very 
well. Why is it not possible for Kontact (or Akonadi)? 

When searching the Internet, I see that I am not alone with this big whish. 
This Exchange support is announced since years! It seems that solutions are 
always stucking in a prototype or technical feasability phase. I do not 
understand this because usually KDE PIM developers are doing a really great 
job.

Maybe its not objective, and you have a more accurate status on on such plans 
to support the MS Exchange server? 

Thank you and best regards,
Tom
