What I've picked up from the discussion is this: You need to run (or
have your Exchange admin run) a Brutus server on a Windows box. The
Brutus server connects to Exchange Server via the MAPI interface. You
set up Evolution to connect to the Brutus server, and you interact with
Exchange via the Brutus middleman.
This would be all well and good, except that recently, nobody seems to
be able to locate the Brutus developers or find a current download for
the server. My guess is that the server is not open source, as the devs
would have had to sign an NDA with Microsoft to get up-to-date specs for
Exchange MAPI. Whether it's inexpensive enough to run one's own server
is another question we can't answer without access to the developers.
Does that about sum it up, O more knowledgeable ones?
