My version 2.28.1 on Vista.
Crashes from time to time, I never know when. Connection to exchange is not possible. At the moment I am trying to remove it but I do not know if it is even possible (Windows is configuring it, “gathering required information” as it says for over an hour now, and has not gathered even a half yet:/)

I have read somewhere that to have the “exchange” working one needs a separate package installed, but there is no sign for a windows installation file.

I’ll probably switch to some other client which does not work soooo slooowly…

I use Windows 7 and tries to connect to an Exchange server.

I installed 2.26.2-2 and managed to configure it so it showed my Inbox …. but it hung and crashed in different intervals. Now I installed 2.28.1 and it does not even start.
Task manager shows Evolution 50% CPU … but i never see a GUI ?

When running 2.26.2-2 there was some Exchange-services running – but now there is only Evolution :-\

I also failed to run it on Windows XP sp3, although it seems perfect on my Kubuntu. I reinstalled several times (V. 2.26), but to no avail. Too bad!

i have install the latest version of Evolution 2.26.2-2 Windows Installer, and it installed with out a problem then on first run it crashed with and evolution-outlook-store.exe error and now wont even load.
reinstalled it on 3 different machines, i hope they fix this next release, the one time it loaded it looked like a perfect replacement for Outlook..

I installed Evolution version 2.6.2-5 on windows XP with SP3 and it runs just fine. It takes about a minute to load, but that’s ok. I have it sync’ing via imap to my gmail account. I am able to send and receive – no problem.

I installed Evolution version 2.6.2-5 on windows xp with SP3 and it does not run. Just a black command does screen for a second then noting. Sham as I like it running on my linux PC. I it running on earlier versions of Windows but not sure if SP3 is the problem?

I have the same problem. Version 2.24 installs and runs but has no exchange support. Version 2.28 crashes on startup.

Works great on Linux but I really need it to work on xp.

I just installed the windows evolution client (2.24.2) and there is no option available for Exchange server support. Is this for real? I use the Linux version on my Dell mini w/ Ubuntu and it is unbelievable! I’m a network administrator for a medium sized business and was clicking my heels having read about a windows client with Exchange support. Please tell me that Exchange support is included?!

I installed Evolution 2.22.2-4 on my Windows XP SP3 machine. It takes up to 2 min to load and it crashes randomly. I re-installed it about 3 times wondering if I missed something but no go. It looks like Windows does not like it very much. I guess it’s back to MS-Outlook until they fix it (Evolution).
Right now it sucks big time.

I installed Evolution twice on 2 different computers with XP and in neither case will it open. Once I got to put in my information, but when I click to open it I get a very brief black screen and then nothing! Not very impressed.

Evolution crashes my windows XP. It’s a shame because it works fine on my Ubuntu desktop.
Hope for a more stable release

Hi,

Tried configuring Evolution on windows.
It just grays out the forward botton while installing.
So nothing comes up any suggestion on this!!??

thanks,
