Evolution + Meldware = Email + Calendaring + Freebusy
« Buni Meldware Communication Suite 1.0 Milestone 8 released | Main | Let the AIR out »Evolution + Freebusy is working in the HEAD. You just need to grab the JESCS plugin. There are various differences in functionality between Evolution's WCAP support and Thunderbird's. The biggest difference is that Evolution stores things offline and gets the deltas where TBird+Lightning re-gets the data every time you start it. Unfortunately, it comes at a stability cost for some reason and Evolution+JESCS is kinda buggy. For instance it only asks for "BUSY" data but if no busy data is returned (you're completely free) then it displays the same bar of "no data" as if you had no calendar or there was an error of some sort (this . We should have an early M9 build shortly but the webmail is temporarily non-functional while we make some changes (Flex build in controls suck for auto-complete and the one on the Adobe exchange blows as well) so I'd rather hold off till its working. In the meantime if you don't care about webmail you can build from the HEAD. You can probably also use the webmail.swf from M8 with a build off of HEAD and it will probably work. Happy huntings!

I'll definitely be demoing this in Philadelphia, PA tomorrow, so head to your nearest airport and drop by!
