Evolution email client for exchange 2007 ubuntu

After reviewing few email clients available for Linux I decided to go with Evolution, which is the native email client for Ubuntu. I tried to setup using server type 'Microsoft Exchange'  and looks like this has some problems to be able to connect with exchange 2007.

What all you need to make it work is install evolution mapi plugin. Search for evolution mapi in ubuntu software update center and install the below highlighted plugin


Then your email account setup is cake walk. There seems to be a small bug in the first screen used for configuring emails, where the text labels disappear after few seconds.
