What's the point if it's just for home users and enthusiasts?
exactly right. EVO appears to be fine for individual users ... but in a corp/groupware environment, it's (poor) support of Exchange makes it a non-starter. I know that many posters to this list express the sentiment that they "resent the time EVO developers have to spend on Exchange support". Well, I guess it comes down to whether or not you want linux in general and EVO in particular to have a shot a real marketshare leadership ... I do wan that. I want to be able, sometime soon if possible, do a presentation for a corp customer where I can legitimately say "you can move to a linux desktop, and your users lose nothing, and you IT dept can easily manage everything at least as well as you do now". Linux and EVO are a LONG way from that, currently Peter _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
