Hello all,

did someone ever configure KMail or an other Linux (SUSE 7.2) compatible mailclient for MS-Exchange? If yes - what schould I do that I am able to connect to my Exchange Mailbox?

kind regards

Hi,

As far as I'm aware it can't be done using the default exchange protocols, i.e. using the M$ MAPI. If the Exchange server 'Internet Mail Connector' has been set up with imap4 or pop3 you could readily connect with any mail client.

I had this problem at an ex-employer and the only way I got round it was to run ms/outlook under VMware. It probably works under WINE too but I haven't tried that out myself.

Regards
 
For what it's worth I've been able to get Evolution running against a Microsoft Exchange 5.5 server using IMAP 4.
