And the recent snapshots have been broken, period.
BTW I have been using Evolution to access my Linux IMAP mailbox and all the recent Evolution releases for Debian since about 0.10 have been great (We are now up to 0.13-2). No secure IMAP support yet. Over this time I have also been accessing my University mail (using IMAP) which is an Exchange server so I know Exchange version 5.5 SP3 and 5.5 SP4 works with Evolution. I have heard some bad things about Exchange 2000. See what Eric Raymond thinks of it standards implementation: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/fetchmail/fetchmail-FAQ.html ---Begin Quote--- It's been reliably reported that Exchange 2000's POP3 support is so broken that it's unusable. One symptom is that messages without a terminating newline get the POP3 message termination dot emitted -- you guessed it -- right after the last character of the message, with no terminating newline added. This will hang fetchmail or any other RFC-compliant server. IMAP is alleged to work OK, though. [Great about the IMAP bit] ... But, the best option involves a tactical nuclear weapon (an old ASROC will do), pissing off a lot people who live downwind from Redmond, and your choice of any Linux, NetBSD, FreeBSD, or Solaris CD. ---End Quote--- Regards, Adam Warner
