Unfortunately Exchange MAPI won't make it to Evolution 2.22. The development schedule ends just after the GNOME release. But still the core dev work is a plugin. Which means GNOME 2.22 users can install the plugin and go ahead. (Sorry just updated the Roadmap too) To Answer troll: I can name a lot, but thay may be my company's confidential information. But I can share atleast one name, who himself blogs at Planet GNOME City of Largo (Dave Richards) Evolution was supposed to have smart cards support for Exchange. But GAL thing was pending, so it was dropped out of schedule. If you still don't believe OpenSUSE's version of Evolution has smart-card support + GAL issue. I wanted to fix everything to add. Hey Btw, Evolution has PGP and S/Mime for encryption and signing and decrypting/signature verification. My be check the Composer's Security menus. I’m sorry Jeff.

Probably never will. It doesn't support well enough reserving meeting rooms and visually seeing who is available when you are trying to find a spot for meeting. Lack of S/Mime too (many whole countries have rolled out smartcards for citizens and companies already, using s/mime for signing and encryption). Where's my kerberos authentication for the rest and auto-configurating? Why on earth should one distinct user have to configure their email client for the first time? Modern systems like Outlook+Exchange do not require that. Lower maintenance and support costs! I have not seen one corporate environment using Evolution. Probably never will.
