And yet it's exactly the situation I'm in. I use evolution on Ubuntu through a horizon virtual desktop, purely for better exchange support. I switched from thunderbird on windows to outlook on windows when I started having a lot more meetings to coordinate, and then evolution when a virtual desktop solution was rolled out and Linux was an option for desktops at work again. Quite a few other people in my department that just use thunderbird on Linux because they can't stand outlook or using the web version would happily have better outlook support.

Perhaps there is an audience here and it just doesn't match your own experiences.

I’m not sure what you are talking about. When did I say where I was in that venn?

I am Linux Desktop and hate outlook web.

I am the target user, and the post about Rust and using EWS gives me almost no confidence in this.

And I’m more aware that my case isn’t popular, and targeting on-premise is even less so.

Does evolution calendar work seamlessly with Exchange? I used Thunderbird with the Exchange addon for three years and email and contacts worked without any problems, but calendar was bad. I could see my calendar but couldn't edit it from Thunderbird.

Not seamlessly. It seems to work but is half-broken. Id does not properly pair invitations, updates and RSVPs from emails with auto-created items (by the Exchange server) and you end up with duplicates and mess. At leas that was my experience when I used this setup. Then moved to evolution for email and web outlook exclusively for calendar. Now I am on windows partly for lack of proper Outlook and Teams on linux (sad).
