What I find most amazing is the fact that Zimbra - who makes an outlook plugin - has not produced a proper evolution plugin. Sure someone made one, but seriously.. While I realize the Outlook user community is the "target market" it's the LINUX guys who've been SCREAMING for an exchange replacement and now that we have it it seems we're back in the same trap, support for everything but the linux/mac world.. iSync, iCal, and the evolution plugins can hardly be taken seriously.
Evolution itself can hardly be taken seriously - seems like Novell picked it up and shelved it.
The two plugins that enable connectivity to 99% of groupware systems for evolution (exchange and zimbra) are a joke. And not the funny ha ha kind either.
It's weird how the focus on the business computing aspect in linux doesn't carry over into the working desktop environments, yet the desktop computing aspect to linux's development seems, to some extent, to ignore the basic desires of the majority in favor of gimmicky stuff that really is only useable (not USEFUL mind you) by the more experienced users.
Where's a mail client with shared calendar/contacts support?! This is a pretty basic need for anyone who works an office..
