>From what I gather, GAL works using simple LDAP. To connect to the server via LDAP companies typically require you to be part of the private network. Which mean that GAL works when connected to the intranet, and when VPNning into your company's network.
In my case, when I VPN GAL works, but the exchange connection breaks, because my company requires the use of a Proxy server for HTTP when using the VPN service, and Evolution 2.8 does not work via Proxy (the one you setup in Gnome's control panel). Also Evo 2.8 exchange connector crashes 3 or 4 times a day in my ubuntu edgy work laptop, and the evolution team does not provide packages of new or beta releases for the popular distributions I tried to compile Evolution myself and it is really messy, and I could not succeed; the evolution team provides no howto or anything. I'm really very annoyed by all this and I'm looking for alternatives to Evolution for exchange mail retrieval, but don't seem to find any...
