Normally, I wouldn't bother, but I think this is important because,

[really not trolling here, so don't bother. there are other more
important factors to consider.]
2. Time has shown that FOSS e-mail *servers* won't push out M$ from
whatever enterprise it's currently entrenched.
3. Because of that, there is more of a need to focus on the e-mail
client, but current functionality on the open source desktop, with
respect to Exchange servers, is inadequate, and downright buggy.
4. Openchange has the potential to be the bridge - capture the users
first, then migration to backend solutions is more feasible.

server and client
 Bug 453395 -  (libmapi) Review Request: libmapi - OpenChange:
Microsoft Exchange access with native protocols

Thanks,

What timing. I was just going to fire up yumex and see if there was a Samba 4 package in the testing repository.

I am looking at getting my F10 to access some AD drives at work.

I read the bug reports and I am interested in the Samba 4 part. I do have one question. Will the Openchange allow Thunderbird to access Exchange servers? If so, I will have to think about trying Openchange sooner than later. We do not have pop3 or imap access.
