    <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 must be enabled. Each user will need a
      valid Microsoft Exchange 2000 server account, including license.
  </para>
  </warning>

<sect1 id="new-in-connector-one-two">
<title>What's New in Connector 1.2</title>

       <application>Exchange</application>2000, and click the

       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
       url="http://store.ximian.com">store.ximian.com</ulink>.  You
       will need a browser with strong (128-bit or greater) encryption
       to access the store. When you purchase a Ximian Connector
       license, the store will mail you the license file with
       instructions for installation. Once installed, the license file
       unlocks the Ximian Connector functionality and you may connect

            to so, it's best to use the Global Address List (GAL).
            Choose the GAL from the drop-down list of address sources
            at the top of the dialog box.

    <title>Using Autopick to Adjust Meeting Times</title>
    <para>
         If meeting attendees are not available during the times you
         have scheduled a meeting, you can "nudge" the meeting forward
         or backward to the nearest available time.  To do so, just
         click the arrows to the left or right of the
         <guilabel>Autopick</guilabel> button. The autopick tool will
         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.
