I'm interested in the same information - I'm very interested in using Linux for both Faculty and students... -----Original Message----- From: wlug-admin@mail.wlug.org [mailto:wlug-admin@mail.wlug.org]On Behalf Of Haines, Charles Allen Sent: Monday, August 26, 2002 11:48 PM To: wlug@mail.wlug.org Subject: [Wlug] Exchange clients for linux I was wondering if anyone knew of any exchange clients for linux besides the plugin for evolution. WPI is now offering a student exchange server and I am testing it for the admin's. However I currently have to use the outlook web client to view my mail (which of course doesn't look right in galeon, since M$ designed the outlook web). So any comments, flames, or suggestions are welcome. Thanks, Chuck Haines WPILA Lab Manager _______________________________________________ Wlug mailing list Wlug@mail.wlug.org http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug

JH> JH>Well, the Exchange server supports IMAP v4, so any IMAP v4 client JH>should be able to at least read mail, I would think. the "downside" of that is that Exchange is capable of doing a lot more than just mail (like scheduling, for example), so trying to consider "any IMAP" client for the task may be missing out on things. For example, my last employer used Exchange for scheduling, email, and something very much like newsgroups (i forget what it's called, and it being a function of Exchange means that i really couldn't care less what its name really is anyway)... they allowed POP3 mail, so i used Sylpheed with that (Sylpheed, BTW, is also capable of IMAP. if you're interested, you can find it on Freshmeat.) Mail is all well and good, but i didn't have access to the other funtions that my employer used Exchange for, so i had to bite the bullet and do the occasional check via WinDOZE to make sure i didn't miss anything. <shrug> if memory serves, there is a project along the same line in the works under GNOME (not related to the Ximian stuff), but last time i checked, their efforts were exclusive of the Exchange stuff. 8( -- William Smith wsmith@chezsmith.com Fall River, MA http://www.chezsmith.com
