Push Email for GNOME Evolution’s Exchange MAPI provider (exchange 2007)
After few days of crazy bug hunting (and creating the same) , we have a nice push event notification framework for Evolution-MAPI. When Evolution is running all the changes happening in user’s mailbox in server would immediately be synced. This avoids those long fetches from server. A short screen cast (watch in HD) :
Currently I’ve got “new mail” event handled and is limited to mailer. Would be working on other events. This feature has some major issues to be solved before it can land in master.
It is FUN !
Sadly S2S in E-Mail still takes ages sometimes, but it’s nice to get my mails up to five minutes faster now

+1 on IMAP?
And, why isn’t mail checking/fetching built into EDS?

very nice. I really hate IMAP and POP methods for incoming mail protocals. If only everything was as nice as the RPC over HTTPS for Exchange…
