--- Comment #51 from Vincent Fortier <th0...@gmail.com> --- I gave it a try. I had not played with KDE since around a year so I had to play a little with my installation in order to get things working as is seems there is a bug blocking plasma to startup properly with 16.04. For other who might be interested (not entirely related to this thread...): sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:kubuntu-ppa/staging-misc sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get -y install plasma-desktop kde-l10n-fr Then getting your package installed: wget https://github.com/KrissN/akonadi-ews/releases/download/v0.8.0/akonadi-ews_0.8.0-1_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i akonadi-ews_0.8.0-1_amd64.deb sudo apt-get install -f Then finally kontact ready: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get -y install kontact kleopatra Once all set I was able to login into KDE/plasma and launch kontact and get things going. Now, the real thing! A few comments: - The domain box should be optional and thus perhaps a click on/off be appropriate - I think same should be true for the username: in my case there are no username except my email user... again, by default it may be more appropriate to auto-fill that box with the name section of the email address with a on/off to edit manually? - server auto-discovery failed to work... In my case I use an internal auto-discovery URL that I have to specify manually. My understanding of the interface is that it tries to auto-discover "online" but I cannot assign an auto-discovery URL manually? End-result: sadly as-is I wasn't able to get access to my inbox through EWS. Lastly, hopefully at some point full support for calendar along with contacts & task will be made available! Thnx for finally trying to close this gap within the KDE suite, it is really much appreciated and I look forward at trying later versions! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
