This is the initial bugfix release of Akonadi EWS Resource.

This release focuses on fixes to issues that have been found in the initial release. It doesn't contain any significant new features.

Notable changes

  • Improve collection tree retrieval:
    • Fix full collection tree synchronisation for some servers (bug #2).
    • Fix incremental collection tree synchronisation.
    • Reduce the number of full collection tree retrievals by keeping the state persistent.
  • Fix Qt 5.7 compatibility
  • Fix crash upon encountering a distribution list item (bug #7).
  • Improve behaviour in case of temporary server connection loss.
  • Add option to customise User Agent string sent to the server.
  • Add option to enable NTLMv2 authentication.
  • Allow specifying an empty domain name (bug #3). Requires KF 5.28 to have any effect.
  • Fix dates when copying items from other resources to the Sent Items folder (bug #5).
  • Improve batch item retrieval performance (will be effective with KDE Applications 16.12).
  • Synchronise the collection tree upon connection. Fixes empty collection tree after adding a new resource until a manual mail fetch is triggered (bug #15).

This is the initial preview release of Akonadi EWS Resource.

Highlights

  • Full support for e-mail operations (receiving, organizing and sending) - in this area it can be a good candidate for a daily driver.
  • Read-only support for calendars. Calendar appointments are visible and reminders work. Any changes, new appointments of sending invitation responses needs to be done using OWA or Outlook.

Package notes

  • Fedora 23 uses the Qt4-based KDE PIM packages. The provided package requires KDE Frameworks and KDE PIM packages from Rawhide. Fedora 24 is expected to ship Qt5-based KDE PIM and sufficiently recent KDE Framework packages in the base release.
  • Ubuntu Xenial (16.04 LTS) ships with KDE Frameworks 5.18, which is missing fixes related to NTLM authentication. Unless you're planning to use Kerberos you should upgrade to 5.21, which can be found in Kubuntu Staging PPA.
  • Gentoo overlay can be found on my GitHub
  • OpenSUSE packages can be found here (thanks to Michal Hlavac for providing these)
