LDAP connectivity is provided for interoperability with directory servers. The calendar uses the itip format internally. The itip format is also used by the ical program, so ical calendar data can be easily entered into the Evolution calendar. The vCalendar format is also supported. Evolution includes tools for communicating with palmtops and can upload and download palmtop data.
Evolution can also handle the job of archiving palmtop data.
Addresses and calendar events can be shared between Evolution and the palmtop, or emailed to others. Data can also be transferred between Evolution and cell phones. It's a full-featured suite that rivals Microsoft Outlook and Lotus notes. To round out the day we decided to visit the KDE booth where SuSE's Waldo Bastian discussed KDE2 with us. The KDE philosophy is to build small, modular component pieces that interconnect with each other.
