Novell cancelled the support for the version 3.2 in the year 2002. NetWare can respectively manage at most 32 TByte harddisk storages for at most 64 Volumes per servers. NetWare 3.11 had great popularity in companies and worked very reliable and stable. The following versions 3.1 and 3.11 eliminated many bugs from the main release. NetWare 3.0 With the version NetWare 3.0 the 32-bit performance of the Intel 386 CPUs could already be used fully. Either with NetWare 6.5 kernel or Linux kernel of the Suse Enterprise 9 server, no matter which variant is used the same services are available. In 2005 the current version of the network operating system Open Enterprise Server was published in different variants. The first release of NetWare was 1983 for the operating system DOS. Use as a directory service, Internet server, Intranet server, file server or also application server is part of it. This operating system is used for all sorts of fields of application. It protects single processes from each other and is very stable through this in operation. NetWare needs only low hardware requirements and has memory protection. Since NetWare 6 no more client is necessary for this, the configuration can be done completely on the server. The administration of resources like printers, files and users is possible with a client and a graphical window system and granted administrator rights. Novell provides simple but powerful text-based menus on the command line for the configuration since the first NetWare release.

Until Thunderbird 3’s access to the Mac OS Address book is available, I can use the LDAP server as a transmitter.Novell NetWare Novell developed with NetWare a network operating system that no complex and overweighted GUI needs for use on servers.

After a fresh install on a different server, ABxLDAP works like a charm – a real alternative to Evolution’s address book and then closely integrated in the system. My problems seemed to have something to do with the slapd server configuration.

UPDATE 6: See comments by the developer below. It is an interesting project, but the webpage says that active development has stopped. I know about the AddressBook4LDAP project, but I never got this to work, either.I’d be happy to know about other people’s experience with Evolution on the Mac. However, unfortunately most GUI icons are missing as you can see the screenshot: This way, it will start up without an error message, although you still have to confirm the running of the script each time you start evolution. What you need to do is to edit the startup script ( /Applications/Evolution-2.6.app/Contents/Resources/Scripts/main.scpt) with the Scripteditor into set results to do shell script '/opt/gnome-2.14/bin/evolution-2.6' Unable to find application named 'XDarwin' In any case, and to come to the point, the current ( 06/2008 – version 2.6 ) OS X port of Evolution doesn’t work on OS 10.5 (Leopard) – you’ll get an error /opt/gnome-2.14/bin/evolution-start.sh: line 16: open-x11: command not found

But I am quite puzzled that there seems to be such little (corporate) interest in integrating read and write LDAP support into free (as in beer) software. Since for lack of time and knowledge of C, I cannot contribute to changing that situation, and therefore shouldn’t complain. Mozilla (Thunderbird) LDAP support has been languishing for years and it is read-only, too. I haven’t as of yet been able to get the Mac “Address Book” to connect to my LDAP server, and even if that would work, from what I have read on the web, it is read-only. If you are on a OS 10.5 (Leopard) Mac, there is one major reason why you might want to use Evolution – it provides the – as far as I know – only LDAP-based Address book that is can actually write to a LDAP directory.

There is an Evolution port for Mac 10.3 (Panther) and 10.4 (Tiger), which uses the X Window system and therefore doesn’t look very nice in terms of the Mac Aqua look & feel, but that’s not really important in terms of usability, as long as everything else works.

The Mac has a pretty decent suite of interoperating PIM applications, but they still do not provide the same seamless integration that Outlook (or, in this case, Entourage) or Evolution offer. It never happened – maybe readers have a clue as to why. Instead of spending millions and millions on licenses, companies could have supported Evolution development years ago and now have a really good and free product in their hands. It would be the perfect cross-plattform and open source candidate for getting rid of the crappy proprietary Microsoft-only standard-uncompliant market leader. I never understood why the Open Source Outlook replacement Novell Evolution never took off.
