Folks,
My manager's asked me about something that can run on our CentOS boxes
that can connect to an (bleah!) Exchange server's calendar. It doesn't
look like Lightening can, and from some googling, it appears that
Evolution claims to, but.... It's got to be able to set dates, etc.
Can Evolution? Any other suggestions?

If you're looking for an email *client* that does calendaring and runs on CentOS, I believe that Mulberry will talk calendaring to an exchange server and I know it runs on CentOS (as well as other Linux variants, Mac and Windows). <http://www.mulberrymail.com/> Don't let the lack of recent updates scare you off; it's a solid product, plus there are Linux users who have been updating the source tree since this previously-commercial product went open source. In the context of email, I'm using Mulberry in an environment where I have multiple imap & smtp servers, multiple accounts, and one *account* in particular has >300 sub-mailboxes with ~600,000 messages. Mulberry is the only client that I've tried that doesn't choke. Devin

Any other suggestions?Evolution will not work with Exchange newer than 2003. There is a plugin under development that can, but I'm not precisely sure about its status, and in any case, CentOS5 is too old for it; it as a bunch dependencies that are newer than what's provided. Lightning needs the exchange provider plugin/connector, but the combination seems quite buggy.
