为了方便，来公司之后直接安装了Ubuntu10.04的64bit版本，但是在连接公司的exchange邮箱的时候前短时间一直使用web access，速度慢，ckeck邮件也不方便，所以查阅了很多资料，综合很多朋友的意见，准备试一下 Davmail ＋ ThunderBird 试一下。
之所以选用以上的组合，给予下面的survey and test.
（1）Ubuntu 原装版本的Evolution. 还算好用，不过配置后，会出现这个错误：
The server is running Exchange 5.5. Exchange Connector
supports Microsoft Exchange 2000 and 2003 only.
无奈，不能使用他，我的gmail都是设置在这里的，无奈，试试其他的。
（2）kmail. 实验后，结论和evolution是一样的，没办法使用他连接exchage。
（3）ThunderBird 同上。
ThunberBird ＋ Davmail
First, Davmail is a gateway software for other mail-clients. more info see:
http://davmail.sourceforge.net/index.html
Download from
http://davmail.sourceforge.net/download.html, I choose the davmail_version-1_all.deb. You can choose one which is suitable for yourself.
Second, Install Davmail step by step.
see http://davmail.sourceforge.net/linuxsetup.html
do some settings:
OWA URL: https://red001.mail.microsoftonline.com/owa/
After that, I recommend turning on the following:
Local IMAP Port: 1143
Local SMTP Port: 1025
Local LDAP Port: 1389
You should just turn off the POP support.
-> save and close the window.
Third, install the ThunderBird.
- aptitude thunderbird
install automaticly.
then, create an account like this:
email address: ***@**
password: ***
sever name: localhost
IMAP port:1143
user name: ***@** (this is your email account.)
description: whatever
server name: localhost
SMTP port 1025
username and password : ***@** (this is your email account)
do not select 'use secure authentication'
okay.
Now, you can try it.
Good luck!
