Title: Oz Outlook Exchange Client?
Post by: CtrL_X_ on December 14, 2004, 11:18:30 am

I just installed OZ (they should put something on openzaurus.org about how you cant flash with an SD card, took me 5 hours to figure out) and i was wondering if there is an email program for OZ that can sync with outlook over the network as a client to an exchange server.  I want to use my zaurus at work and i dont want to get a second cradle, but i do have a wireless nic card.  Any suggestions?

Pretty sure this is not supported, nor will it be any time in the near future.  AFAIK, the only Linux-based app that can interact directly with Exchange is Evolution (although now that Novell has open-sourced Connector, maybe others will follow).

Your best bet is to sync with Outlook directly--instead of a new cradle, I found the $18 or so I spent on retractable sync cable (http://www.shirtpocket.co.uk/cat/product_info.php?cPath=22_25_176&products_id=96&osCsid=46217382ab756ca8986d061e91c67da8).  I found the guys from ShirtPocket to be great people to deal with.
