Well... I wanted to keep it simple, but you are right (to a point ;) ) Evolution uses BOTH WebDAV and HTTP. Try switching OWA to form based authentication on older Evolution and see it break. Btw, the WAP is served via the OMA (Outlook Mobile Access) component which (though works in conjunction with OWA) is not part of OWA itself. And if that is not enough, ActiveSync clients use a component called EAS (works much like OMA). Now this is all correct for Exchange 2003. In E2K the mobile access was served via a fully blown application called MIS (Mobile Information Service). Guy ________________________________

AFAIR Evolution accesses webDAV directly, which make a lot more sense than weeding out the messages out of the "look&feel" as you call it. so who said MS doesn't standardize some of their stuff :-) Now that Daniel Robins (ex- Gentoo founding father and Ex- Israeli) started working for MS on their FOSS initiatives (oh yes, they exist), we might even see more of that going on.
