Public bug reported: I experienced that when you have to work with an MS Exchange server in your company, Ubuntu completely fails on you.
As far is I experienced, Evolution's OWA connector is far from being ready for productive use and there seems little or little useful response to OWA connector or Evolution related bug reports in Launchpad. This is more than bad since it does not seem to be possible to run MS Outlook 2003 under WINE either (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine/+bug/342326). One theoretical way out might be running Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 under WINE but this doesn't seem to work yet either (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine/+bug/342326). So I tried to simply install the Firefox "User Agent Switcher" plugin and set Firefox's user agent to "Internet Explorer 7 (Windows Vista)". Well, Firefox then loads the OWA Premium (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outlook_Web_Access#Technology) view which if it worked would give you a nearby substitute for the MS Outlook 2003 client or the MS Outlook 2007 client. However, if you click anything there, nothing happens. There is a large error message printed into the OWA Premium screen which says: ---- /exchweb/img/tf_Messages.xsltable-layout:fixed;width:100%;NachrichtenBKBMBfalseKeine AngabepercentWichtigkeiti4http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/x-priority-long1101width:13px;cursor:hand;text-align: center;Elementtypstringhttp://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/outlookmessageclass1101width:20px;cursor:hand;text-align: center;FlagStatusi4http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/x109000031101width:20px;cursor:hand;text-align: center;Anlagebooleanurn:schemas:httpmail:hasattachment1101width:15px;cursor:hand;text-align: center;Vonstringhttp://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/sent_representing_name1001width:23%;cursor:hand;text-align: ;padding-right:3px;padding-left:3px;Betreffstringhttp://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/subject1001width:40%;cursor:hand;text-align: ;padding-right:3px;padding-left:3px;Erhaltendateurn:schemas:httpmail:datereceived1001width:26%;cursor:hand;text-align: ;padding-right:3px;padding-left:3px;ddd dd.MM.yyyyHH:mmGrößei4http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/x0e0800031001width:11%;cursor:hand;text-align: right;padding-right:3px;padding-left:3px;padding-right:3px"http://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/proptag/0x67aa000b"; = false AND "DAV:isfolder" = falseurn:schemas:httpmail:datereceivedDESCdatebackground-color:buttonface ---- which tells you that it isn't enough to just change the user agent ID tag. However, I wonder it would be possible to run OWA Premium without the above mentioned bug, using Mozilla Firefox. (If not, I will have to switch back to MS Windows.) ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Jaunty: Firefox does not get along with OWA Premium of an MS Exchange server https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/342341 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
