Free microsoft exchange outlook software for linux

Evolution Exchange 2.27.3 is professionally designed as the Ximian Connector for Microsoft Exchange, which adds support for Microsoft Exchange 2000 and 2003 to Evolution. Evolution provides integrated mail, addressbook and calendaring functionality to users of the GNOME desktop.

Openchange project intends to provide an Open-Source implementation of Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 under Unix Platforms.
The Openchange Project is developed in C language under the BSD license, and will primary work on NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD and Linux platforms. The project time line has been defined to approximatively one year, and we believe the project will be in a complete stable state at this time.
Openchange wishes to integrate the enterprise working environment and to substitute to an Exchange Server in a transparent way, so final users may continue to use Outlook, or any other mail client.
We also intend to provide to network administrators an easy solution to migrate Exchange databases into Openchange ones and reversely. And last but not least, we work so developers may reuse our sources in a smart way.
The project is divided into 4 parts :
- The OpenChange Library
- The OpenReverse Library
- The Documentation Framework
- The Openchange specifications
The OpenChange Library
This library includes all the requests managing the identification process, the data flow, and all the other requirements needed to permit the communication between an Outlook client and an Exchange Server. It can be used either to develop another Exchange-like server or client.
The OpenReverse Library
Due to legal restriction, the Openchange Server wont reuse the Microsoft Jet Database file format. Instead, we provide a library making easy to parse headers, retrieve the data, calculate checksum and more generally to offer a abstract migration tool to other user defined backends. This library can also be used for basics to develop a repair database tool.
The Documentation Framework
In the documentation framework, you will find all our research results. The subjects may concern the Exchange Internals or treat of a related subject. We wants to provide the most valuable information so our work can be shared with developers community.
The OpenChange Specifications
At last, we will provide the complete specifications of OpenChange in a printable way. This major document of the OpenChange team will help new developers to understand how Exchange Server works, how we implemented our APIs to make OpenChange, Exchange compatible. Around this main development, you will find several modules:
- OpenUtils Library
- OpenSniff
- OpenEDB
Enhancements:
- This release fixes limitations from the previous release (0.2) and adds a set of new features.
- Sending email messages to external recipients is now possible.
- It can also fetch and create appointments, contacts, and tasks in their respective default folder.
- Experimental NEWMAIL notification support is also available.
- The openchangeclient command line messaging tool has been improved and exchange2mbox has been introduced.
- It provides a way to synchronize an Exchange mailbox with an mbox file, supports MIME types, and is able to reflect changes back to Exchange.

fetchExc project is java utilily which retrieves mail from your MS Exchange (2000/2003) inbox and forwards it to SMTP server of your choice or mbox type file.
FetchExc uses webDAV (OWA) to retrieve mail either over http or https. This is also means that you administrator must have left Outlook Webaccess available in Exchange in order to get this utility to work.
Although version number is still below 1.0 I consider this program usable in production environment.
There are still many places that should be polished and improved but atleast there havent been major problems in over an half a year. Before you install read installation instructions from below carefully.
Installing:
So far this only covers *nix systems (windows instructions may follow if they are needed)
Extract fetchExc-*.tar.gz or make directory for fetchExc.jar. If you are downloading Jakarta components yourself put them in the same directory as fetchExc.jar.
Create fetchExc.properties file in your home directory. Remember to protect it with chmod 700 (it contains your password). If you took .tar.gz package there should be example included.
ExchangeServer=xxx.dddddd.com
ExchangePath=exchange
ExchangeUser=exuser
MailServer=yyy.dddddd.com
DestinationAddress=user@yyy.dddddd.com
Username=domainuser
Password=domainpassword
Domain=DOMAIN
Delete=false
All=false
Secure=true
FBApath=/exchweb/bin/auth/owaauth.dll
ExchangeServer - Name of your MS Exchange server.
ExchangePath - Exchange path for MS Exchange OutLook WebAccess.
ExchangeUser - Name of you MS Exchange User.
You can test first three properties by making URL out of them: http://xxx.dddddd.com/exchange/exuser. This should give you a Outlook Webaccess Page.
MboxFile - Path and name of mbox-type mail box. This disables MailServer- and DestinationAddress-properties. Be careful with this because Im not 100% sure that file locking works (YMMV). If there are problems let me know. Also success reports would be nice.
MailServer - Name of your SMTP Server which receives forwarded messages. If there is MboxFile defined this property wont be used.
DestinationAddess - Address of recipient of forwarded messages. If there is MboxFile defined this property wont be used.
Username - Username for your windows domain user. It may be same as ExchangeUser but necessarily.
Password - Password for domain user.
Domain - Domain for above user.
Delete - Whether program should delete mail from Inbox or just mark them as read. If Delete is true mail will be deleted after succesful forwarding. Any other value will just mark message as read. While you are configuring other properties I strongly recommend that you use value false for this property.
All - Whether program should real all mail from Inbox or just which are not read yet. If All is true every mail will be read. Any other value will read only unread mail. While you are configuring other properties I strongly recommend that you use value false for this property.
WARNING!!! Dont combine Delete=false and All=true if you are not testing. That will fetch every mail from your Inbox everytime you start the program.
Secure - If value is true program will use https. Any other value will use http. Https should be user whenever possible.
FBApath - Path to form based authentication. If not set defaults to /exchweb/bin/auth/owaauth.dll. This can be found on FBA login page source (hint: search for "destination")
ForceFrom - If this is set to true forwarded mail will be forwarded with address from ForceFromAddr parameter. This only happens when sender address is not valid. For example if there is two From: fields in mail header Exchange can join addresses. NOTE: This may help spam to get through so use carefully.
ForceFromAddr - E-mail address that forwarding server will accept. Only used if ForceFrom is true
NoEightBitMime - If this is true SMTP forwarding doesnt use BODY=8BITMIME. Default is false.
Now you just need to include JRE in you path. If it is in you path you can run program:
java -jar /install/fetchExc/fetchExc.jar
You can now (>0.80) use -p switch to change properties file. For example:
java -jar /install/fetchExc/fetchExc.jar -p test.properties
would run program using properties from test.properties
I use fetchExc with following little shell script and crontab entry so that it keeps fetching mail every two minutes.
fetchExc
#!/bin/bash
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/jre/bin
java -jar /install/fetchExc/fetchExc.jar $* >> fetchExc.log 2>> fetchExc.err
If you use this script replace /usr/local/jre/bin with path to your java runtime environment. Same applies to location of your installation on next line.
crontab entry:
*/2 * * * * ~jrauti/bin/fetchExc
Enhancements:
- Java has been changed from 1.4 to 1.5.
- The Jakarta HHTTP client has been upgraded from 2.0 to 3.0.
- Proxying also works with HTTPS.
- Code cleanups.
- A small fix in mbox saving (in Mac OS X, messages were coalesced).
