Ok. We don't have GAL support in master. It was there when we were using evolution-data-server branches. We should disable the UI till we write proper GAL using libmapi.
Disabled GAL ui in master 1f7c575
I confirm that this is a problem with evolution-mapi. Without the GAL, most other exchange functionality doesn't work, such as scheduling meetings, etc.
Pushed ldap based gal (old code) to gal-ldap branch. Working on a MAPI based implementation. Targeted for 0.27.4.
Reassigning to Bharath.
So it seems evolution-mapi is not yet ready to replace evolution-exchange. The mail component is working great!! but there is no contacts available for me which is a show stopper. Good luck!.
GAL will download contact after yesterday's commit [1] though it's not perfect yet [1] http://git.gnome.org/cgit/evolution-mapi/commit/?id=15d358b0259fd2bac16f8704ebfd979be3542fb9
We can connect to GAL as of 0.27.5. Closing this report as fixed. Thanks.
I guess GAL is for the contacts component which is great. But, what about the calendars?? is it working too?

I was just inquiring because I'm too lazy to test it by my self. I'll configure MAPI at my work computer as soon as I can and report back.
I still can't use the contacts. I'm using Fedora 12 Alpha from a USB stick and I can't manage to find a contact. I configured a MAPI account and I can get the emails but I don't see a way to look up for contacts. When I configured my account it asked me for the exchange server but there is no way in the GUI to put my GAL which is on a different server, how do I configure it? These are my installed packages: evolution-data-server-2.27.91-1.fc12.i686 evolution-mapi-0.27.91-1.fc12.i686 evolution-2.27.91-1.fc12.i686 openchange-0.8.2-4.fc12.i686 samba4-libs-4.0.0-15.2alpha7.fc12.i586 libldb-0.9.3-15.2.fc12.i586 libtevent-0.9.3-15.2.fc12.i586 Is there any missing package?
Using evolution MAPI in Ubuntu 10.04 and this is not fixed..
I'm using Fedora 13 LiveUSB (evolution-exchange-2.30) and it now works with GAL but for some reason I can't see my appointments in the Calendar.
(In reply to comment #13) > Using evolution MAPI in Ubuntu 10.04 and this is not fixed.. Because Ubuntu is not shipping current stable evolution 2.30.0 instead it has evolution 2.28.3.
I'm using a nightly build from Fedora 13 and contacts seem to be working fine but I don't get any of my calendars. Is this a known issue? I tried several ways to make evolution show my appoinments on the Exchange server with no success. I was going to file a new bug report but I saw several reports suggesting that Calendars are working (or a)
sorry for the interrupted post... here I go again: I'm using a nightly build from Fedora 13 and contacts seem to be working fine but I don't get any of my calendars. Is this a known issue? I tried several ways to make evolution show my appoinments on the Exchange server with no success. I was going to file a new bug report but I saw several reports suggesting that Calendars are working (or at least people can see them) so I am asking here first if there is something else I can check to make this work. The packages I'm using right now are: evolution-mapi-0.30.1-1.fc13.i686 evolution-2.30.1-2.fc13.i686 evolution-exchange-2.30.1-1.fc13.i686 evolution-data-server-2.30.1-2.fc13.i686 And the support guy here told me that the company is using MS Exchage Server 2003, is there a way to check this version? I can't see any "About..." in OWA.

Hi William, if you have Exchange 2003 server, you should use owa connector not mapi provider. Officially mapi is not supported with Exchange 2003. Other point it will be really helpful if you provide your feedback on relevant bug because this bug was about GAL issue. I would suggest you to file a new bug and write all the observations you have about calendar problem, tia.
