Hi, This is a short status report on the evolution-brutus (e-b for short) add-on for Evolution 2.4. It has progressed a lot (again) since the last status update.
What is e-b? ============ e-b is an add-on to Evolution 2.4 which provides access to Extended MAPI and therefore to Exchange 5.5, 2000 and 2003 on an equal basis. The access is provided by a Brutus server, which is a proxy translating MAPI request to/from corresponding CORBA requests. Brutus is distributed under the GPLv2 or later. And the difference to evolution-exchange is? ============================================ Please see the first status report: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-hackers/2005-September/msg00048.html Status ====== The functional state of e-b is that browsing of public and private folders on Exchange is fully functional. You can even read all of your mail using evolution-brutus except for any attachments. Sending mail using e-b will be the next feature followed shortly by support for attachments. Downloads and screenshots ========================= You can follow the download link below to get an installation binary for Brutus Server. You can get the latest Brutus source release (0.9.21) here: http://www.omesc.com/content/downloads/index.php Screenshot showing a mail from the Drafts folder with all MAPI properties added as X-MAPI- message headers for debugging purposes: http://www.omesc.com/content/downloads/screenshots/evolution-brutus-message.png Screenshot of sample command line client: http://www.omesc.com/content/downloads/Brutus.png Documentation ============= e-b build documentation and usage information is in "brutus/idl/products/evolution/2.4/docs", generic sample applications are in "brutus/idl/samples". Feedback, comments and questions are welcome.
