[Bug 338982] Re: evolution crashed with SIGSEGV during MAPI authentication

[Ramesh Dharan]

I am as annoyed about this as anybody else; this is the *single* feature
that I cared about in Jaunty and in fact I upgraded my main  desktop
from Intrepid to Jaunty as soon as Evolution 2.26 was "released" just
for this functionality.

That having been said, it seems more appropriate to direct our
frustration at upstream. Ubuntu hasn't invested in evolution or
evolution-mapi at all and they're just taking what GNOME claims to be
giving them; the evolution team meanwhile should be raked over the coals
for claiming this thing works when it's little more than a cruelly
painful joke right now.

That having been said, if you guys are going to drop it from Jaunty, you
should do so explicitly rather than letting users find out for
themselves that it doesn't actually work. Right now there's all kinds of
nice fluffy press coverage about how evolution-mapi lets Linux users
talk to Exchange; this cookie cuttery copy is all clearly written by
people who don't even use Exchange (and probably don't even use Linux),
and who clearly have not tried out the feature before touting its
availability.
