Exchange and OpenSuse


Hello all

I just installed OpenSuse 11.1 and runnig KDE 4.1.3. Our mailserver here is exchange and i understand KMail does not support Exchage server so i downloaded Evolution. It came as something like evolution-2.28.1.tar.bz2. In the terminal i ran the command tar xjf evolution-2.28.1.tar.bz2 which "unzipped" the contents of the .tar.bz2 file into a folder . That is where i am currently stuck!!! How do I install evolution and make it work? Or is there any way of connecting KMail to our Exchange Server? Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanx

Hi lazarusmotlhaba!

Why have you downloaded a tarball? Wouldn't it have been easier to install via Yast, that way Evolution should install with no trouble at all. Are you familiar with Yast, or are you very much a 'newbie'?

You could install it from your installation DVD.
