Evolution Setup Assistant Doesn't List Exchange as a Server

Hello All,

After running openSUSE 11.0 as a VMware image hosted on WindowsXP and liking it so much I finally took the plunge and installed it as my secondary OS on my Dell Precision M6300.

Everything seems to have installed correctly except when I run the Evolution Setup Assistant I don’t see ‘Exchange’ as a server type.

Do I have to install something special to get ‘Exchange’ support? The documentation seems to say that it’s already built in.

Any pointers to documentation or direct help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
John

D’oh! I didn’t look hard enough in the available documentation, my bad.

Yes, there is something else that needs to be installed to get Exchange support in Evolution: The Evolution Microsoft Exchange Connector.

Once I installed the package ‘evolution-exchange’ and ran the Evolution Setup Assistant again, Exchange showed up as a server type and I was god to go.

Thanks,
John
