We have started the tarball releases for evolution-mapi. It’ll be in sync with GNOME release schedule. evolution-mapi-0.25.3 is available for download [0].
Thanks to Suman [1], openSUSE repositories [2] are back online.
Matthew has repositories for Fedora [3] [4]

Hi, historically, I’ve been installing from svn on ubuntu 8.10, with my last install not functioning very well. My question is: how do we use these tarbals in terms of… is it a plugin, is it a full evolution replacement? Also, what are the dependencies? Is it based on an svn checkoout (which one) or a stable release?
Yep these are plugin tarballs. Which means that you can installl these over a existing evolution installation.
Dependancies : openchange 0.8 (that would require samba4). Evolution 2.24.1.1+ or 2.25.2+.
The tarballs are from svn.gnome.org/svn/evolution-mapi/trunk.
I’ll update go-evolution.org/MAPIProvider.
I tried to install this on Ubuntu Intrepid but it looks like it requires a newer version of evolution-data-server than is available:
checking for EVOLUTION_DATA_SERVER… configure: error: Package requirements (evolution-data-server-1.2 >= 2.25.2) were not met:
Requested ‘evolution-data-server-1.2 >= 2.25.2’ but version of evolution-data-server is 2.24.2
Bummer. I hope that someone will setup an Ubuntu PPA for these.
-James
@James : Open up configure.in and change the minimum requirement to 2.24.2. It would work for now 🙂 .
Why hello there, I seem to be having a dependency issue, I have libcamel and libcamel-provider installed on my system but the rpm for evolution-mapi seems to think I don’t.
the particulars:

these are supposed to be provided by evolution-data-server and I do have that installed. I also tried making a sym link to the so.14 version of the and calling it so.13 to see if I could fool it into installing but no luck.
Didn’t know where to put this comment so I put it here 😀
Dude,
You guys rock! Thanks for the links to the RPM’s. Going to give it a run later today!
Keep up the “MUCH APPRECIATED” work!!
Hi Johnny,
I have installed from Matthew’s repo, and I can see that it now support HTML mails, it displays the folders correct, BUT, I cannot send emails. All emails return from System Administrator saying that the email address does not exist. This is not true as that is my own email address.
Oh, and for some reason, the error message returns in French…
Any ideas?
Thank you for your work.
I am having identical issues installing on Ubuntu 8.10. I have unpacked the RPM using alien but this is not working either. I just gives a not compatible error when connecting to Exchange.
I am about 8 hours into trying to install the tarball and am getting the error listed above by James Ward. I have changed the versions in configure but with no luck.
I know we will get there but any hints would be fantastic.
I thought I may try installing Fedora and Open SUSE to see if these will work for now!!! To be honest I will try this when I have time.
Really appreciate the work though!
Sorry. I have tried to install open suse tonight and it will not write to disc. I have installed Fedora and installed all packages except the mapi ones which refuse.
I get

I have searched for libcamel but have just uninstalled most Gnome aplications trying to reinstall evolution-data-server.
I am a little bored after 7 hours on a saturday night – I have been trying everything but have about given up hope. I just hope this gives you some useful feedback apart from some chump cant install the mapi extension.
Sorry.
and
For those who want to test with Fedora 10
—————————————
You need to have evolution-2.52.x
So before you try to install the RPM’s provided by Matthew, first install evolution-data-server and evolution from rawhide repo:
(as root) yum –enablerepo=rawhide update evolution evolution-data-server
Now you will be able to install the above rpms!
As I noted before, I can successfully hook up to a exchange server and read mail, but can’t send. If anyone can find out why, please let me know! I will create a new thread on fedoraforum.org where evolution and mapi issues can be discussed!
Keith
Sorry that command should be:
yum –enablerepo=rawhide update evolution evolution-data-server (it should be 2 dashes in front of enablerepo)
@keith : Would be awesome if you can report the issues that you are facing in bugzilla.gnome.org under evolution-mapi. tia ! 🙂
@keith : I created a bugzilla entry : http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=566729 . Please provide information there. Or ping me on irc ‘jony’
Thanks Johnny!
Will do!
