[HSC-Unix] Novell releases their Connector for MS Exchange as Open Source

[Jeremy Mann]

In light of today's worm activity, I found the following very interesting.
Before this release, Connector for Exchange was a commercial product from
SuSE/Novell. JAVA Desktop from Sun ships default with Evolution 1.7, which
will work with this program.

Today Novell announced that its Connector for MS Exchange Server would be
integrated into Evolution 2.0 and made available as open source, beginning
today with the current Connector 1.4. Apparently, downloads will be
available for the current version of Evolution starting May 14th.

>From Novell's Connector website: "With the Connector for Microsoft
Exchange installed, Evolution functions as an Exchange client, enabling
users to become full participants in company-wide group scheduling and
other collaborative tasks. Linux and Solaris users can access public
folders, Global Address Lists, email, calendar, task lists, and group
scheduling information."
