Exchange Server Mail Client In Linux

[FN-GM]

Hi,

 

This is going to sound a daft question but is there a program that you can use as an Exchange server mail client for Linux.

 

For example you would normally use Microsoft Office Outlook in Windows. But what about Linux?

 

Thank You

 

PS: The Linux client is connected to the domain via Samba

[webman]

KDE: Kontact

 

Gnome: Evolution

 

With MSexchange being evil proprietary crap, not all features are supported.

Ok got that on, how do i get it running on Exchange please?

RTFM PDF manual, sections 6. There's also some stuff in the FAQ.

With Evolution you need to make sure that you have the Exchange plugin installed (your package manager should help there) and then it's just a case of going through the wizardy-thing.

 

It's not quite as nice as Outlook I must admit but it does the job admirably.
