Hi! I have just finished upgrading a system that was powered off (broken battery) since February 2011. Just for the fun of doing so. I couldn't help saying it... I'm quite proud of this achievement. ;-) Guillermo Leira

Perhaps this is an evidence for VBox running on the upgraded Arch.

:-) It was an arch system. A Laptop with a 700 MHz PIII and 256 MB RAM. It's not very useful nowadays. And how would a pic prove it? I have the pacman log, but even that could be forged. :-) And I'm using outlook in a XP VM inside VMware Workstation. We have Exchange at the office, and I haven't found another way of connecting to it. This address is in a POP/SMTP account, but I don't want to have two email clients. Regards, Guillermo Leira

Is mapi support default now? I recall we didn't use to have it in arch because of dependencies on samba4

Evolution? I've tried that, but seems to require a plugin than depends on a beta version of mysql... I don't know if it works. Regards, Guillermo Leira

evolution-mapi is in the AUR. I used to maintain it for a while, worked back then, I guess it does work now as well, though it seems unupdated.
