    <title>The Ximian Connector for Microsoft Exchange</title>
    <para>
    The Ximian Connector for Microsoft Exchange allows Ximian
    Evolution clients to access accounts on Microsoft Exchange 2000
    servers. It is available through Ximian Red Carpet in its own
    channel, but cannot be used without a license file.  The license
    file may be purchased from the Ximian online store at <ulink
    url="http://store.ximian.com">store.ximian.com</ulink>. Unlike the
    regular Ximian Evolution client, the Ximian Connector for
    Microsoft Exchange is proprietary software and source code is not
    available.
    </para>
   
  <warning id="licensing">
    <title>Requirements</title>
    <para>
      Ximian Connector works only with Exchange 2000, and requires
      that Outlook Web Access be enabled. Each user will need a
      valid Microsoft Exchange 2000 server account, including license.

       Once you have installed the software, you will also need to
       install a license file.  The license file is the verification
       that you have paid for a license to use the Ximian
       Connector. You can get the license file from the the Ximian
       online store at <ulink

       will need a browser with strong (128-bit or greater) encryption

       license, the store will mail you the license file with

       unlocks the Ximian Connector functionality and you may connect

      Like IMAP and LDAP data, information for

      access it from multiple locations. It also means that your
      Microsoft Exchange account information
      is in a separate folder tree from the <guilabel>Local</guilabel>
      tree in your folder bar. You'll see it below the local tree,
      with the name you gave the account. If you have multiple
      accounts, you will have multiple folder trees.

      Click on any of the folder tree items to visit them; you may

      are items in your local calendar or address book that you'd like

          To add someone to your list of delegates, click the
          <guilabel>Add</guilabel> button and select them from the
          Global Address List. When delegating you can grant different

         If meeting attendees are not available during the times you

         move the meeting to the nearest time during which all
         attendees are available.  If you aren't satisfied with those
         results, you can drag the edges of the meeting time to the
         hours that you want to select.
