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 🙂
Nice work! Now if we could just do that for IMAP…
Nice work dude!!
@mat on the way 🙂
+1 on IMAP?

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…
What versions of other dependencies do we need for this to work?
late to the party but Gnome rocks!
Glad to see Linux developers are still churnung out great products to bridge the gab between microsoft’s stronghold. Perhaps one day we will have an equal system giving users that extra choice,
I still suck at IMAP and CHAP settings, please share if you can make it 3 step easy instruction.
