So, while I cannot promise anything, if I had an account, I would at least feel bad if I didn't try :-). The specific approach I had in mind was: - move to using Exchange Web services - this should (a) make it possible to get efficient support for the addressbook and (b) open the door to full read write access for mail, calendar and addressbook - this will continue to be supported going forward by Microsoft - this would involve a significant rewrite of the MAPI based code that is currently there - this would be maintainable without all the dependencies on libmapi et. al. - I am hoping that a lot of work that went into mapping properties between Exchaange and KDEPIM would carry over Thanks, Shaheed On 7 December 2012 10:43, Thomas Schabetsberger wrote: > Dear Shaheed, > > is this still the case?
