Openchange resource for akonadi

Spent some time today getting the OpenChange resource for Akonadi up and running again. I haven't really done anything to improve it from where it was a few months ago (OK, September 2007, when I was on holidays), but it lives again.

Those few months have involved a lot of changes on both the OpenChange side and on the Akonadi side of this resource. However we can still read mail (kind-of) and show contacts (kind-of).

Screenshots, using the akonadiconsole tool:
Akonadi accessing exchange server - Contact view, Akonadi accessing exchange server - Mail view
(click to see full size).

As you can see, we have a long way to go - the data is coming off the server, but we are faking some of the elements of the mail header (instead of parsing it and making a proper RFC822 multipart message) the image in the contact is br0ken, etc. It is a start to a proper resource though.

Nice work Brad. I look forward to watching this come together, and should do the same for a Novell Groupwise resource.

Will you be able to work on it in parallel if there is also a SoC student doing Openchange?

Preparation for SoC

Thanks Will. I'm just trying to knock it into enough shape that a SoC student might be able to make some progress on it (assuming KDE can get one).

If there is SoC activity, then I'll probably focus on the OpenChange client libraries, or perhaps the server, or perhaps the RTF reader that we'll need to handle some forms of outlook email.
