Right, I am not having big problems either. Jeff had the problem. Different versions seem to have different quirks. In my experience: * 2.6.0 (sled) seems to do all OK; can do things like shared calendars, etc. but not their associated forms. I know a lot of people don't like Novell Suse very much but they seem to have a desktop distro that works in otherwise MS environments really well, right out of the box. I don't like a lot of the look and feel stuff, like the programs menu, don't like yast, and I prefer apt to rpm, but the stuff works really well. * 2.10 (ubuntu feisty) lost the connection all of the time. especially if there was a global address list lookup. The only way to keep it working was to disable GAL lookups. * 2.12.1 (ubuntu gutsy) is nice and snappy. GAL fixed. Lots of performance and stability improvements. Doesn't handle mailto links with subject=/body= encoding — needed to retrieve false positive from our spam filter. Attachment:
