GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 225886
GAL contact lists
Last modified: 2013-07-23 14:32:56 UTC
GAL entries with objectClass=group are contact lists and have member fields containing the DNs of their members. CN=Connector Hackers,OU=Ximian,DC=xcs,DC=ximian,DC=com is an example in our GAL.
Hm. Actually we can't do this currently, because we don't want Connector to expand the dist list when sending mail, we just want to be able to see the membership in the contact editor (and when scheduling a meeting).

doesn't it make sense to expand out the list to determine who to encrypt a pgp-ed email to (when sending encrypted mail to a distribution list)? should a separate bug be filed for this?
The "evolution-exchange" package only supports Exchange 2000 and 2003 servers. Newer versions such as Exchange 2007 and 2010 are not supported by "evolution-exchange". It is required to use the package "evolution-ews" (or to some extend "evolution-mapi") for newer version fo Exchange servers. If the problem/request described in this report still happens with a recent version of "evolution-ews" or "evolution-mapi", please add a comment to this report (and update the "product" setting accordingly if possible). There are currently no plans to continue the development of the package "evolution-exchange", so this report will soon be closed as WONTFIX. Thanks for your understanding and sorry that the reported problem was not solved in time in the package "evolution-exchange".
evolution-exchange only supports the older Microsoft Exchange server versions 2000 and 2003. The last stable release of evolution-exchange was 3.4.4 which took place a year ago. evolution-exchange is now deprecated and not under active development anymore. It is unlikely that there will be any further active development. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again. Also feel free to reopen this ticket and change the "Product" field accordingly if the reported issue still happens with a recent version (newer than version 3.6) of one of those Exchange backends that are still supported. Please see https://help.gnome.org/users/evolution/3.8/exchange-connectors-overview.html for more information on available backends.
