Description Carsten Schlipf 2006-04-04 09:47:13 UTC
Version:           3.5 (using KDE 3.5.2 Level "a" , SUSE 9.2 UNSUPPORTED)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4 (pre 3.3.5 20040809)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.8-24.18-smp

When using the menu item Exchange -> Download the events are moved to KOrganizer since KDE 3.5.2, i.e. they are stored locally but removed from Exchange. This is a very critical bug, since this means that the times of the events will become available after the events have been removed.

I really would like to use the Exchange connector and it worked well in the past, put sometimes in KDE 3.4.x or KDE 3.5 new bugs get introduced steadily. This Exchange connector is the only missing part for me to be able to get rid of Windows and be able to use KDE :-(

I can not confirm the "move/remove" but all meeting times are shifted. 
In my case, -2h but sometimes -3h. 
About shifting times, see http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84229

I tried this on a system with a completely different installation of KDE 3.5.2 on SuSE 10. The same error: Events are downloaded, but removed from the Exchange calendar.

Unfortunately, we stopped supporting Exchange, due to lack of manpower to  
maintain it. It's unlikely these bugs will be fixed until someone steps up who 
*really* wants to make it work right. 
We are sorry for the inconvenience.

This sure is a sad day for KDE in corporate networks.
If one can not use the damn Exchange, then I have to f****c around with 
rdesktop to book my resources and events via Outlook in our terminal server. But my KOrganizer is still useless... 

Sorry for complaining but I really hope that KDE team understands how important those small bugs, like 124885 and 84229, actually are.
