Glad to hear!

Too bad. I may of course have the same issue, will try to find out this 
week, and report back. In any case, it has to be solvable somehow. Do 
you know if there are some certificates involved? Maybe somebody on this 
list has some ideas?

Thanks, it seems very impressive to me, so it would bring me a whole 
lot closer to a fully functional linux setup at work.

It may be my bad experiences with the owa interface in Evolution (and 
Firefox for that matter), so it may be irrational. Still, I really do 
not have much faith in using the web-interface API. I imagine the 
standard API's Outlook use should be quite stable (something I do not 
trust owa to be). Even more importantly, I expect Microsoft to provide 
the protocol spec to Openchange if they change it. For owa, well it does 
not even follow web-standards, and we are talking freaking 2013 here. 
Why does it look crippled in any other web-browser than ie? Moreover its 
performance is abysmal to the point of useless for me. I would love to 
have activesync supported in kdepim though, as it would give a way to 
sync with Exchange outside of work without needing Android's apps.

Cheers,
Alf
