Same for me, I can't understand wy this feature is ignored since at least 11
years!
The wheel is reinvented daily (dnf replaces yum, wayland replaces X, dolphin
replaces konqueror, dracut replaces initramfs, systemd replaces init, ....) but
nothing about a major component in enterprise IT: native exchange support with
calendar sharing, malbox sharing, ...
Please stop reinventing the wheel and work on this major feature.
I'm open source developer (OSCAR CLuster, and a few other related projects),
and I know it's free time development and thus it comes when it's ready, but
please, don't discourage development by saying this is not needed or that there
are alternatives (wich is flase in this cas as imap is often blocked and has no
mailbox sharing feature at least).
For now I'm forced to use outlook web access and it's poor. My next computed
will be a MAC so I'll have a unix like OS with Outlook support........
