Hi
I am running KDE Neon my system. As far as I can tell I have I have Kontact 5.7.0 and Kmail 5.7.0. What I am not sure about is if I am running KDE Applications 17.12? I have read a lot of being able to connect to Exchange server via EWS in the 17.12 but have not found a tutorial on how the get the Exchange-EWS option in Kmail. During the Add account process Exchange or EWS is not an option and Check for more on Internet does not produce any results. Please let me know what I am missing? I have been looking on the internet for an answer on this and have come up empty handed. Also would like to know how I can tell if the PIM version or the Kontact version I am running is 17.12 or an older version.

Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

https://github.com/KrissN/akonadi-ews says: The Akonadi EWS resource has been merged into KDE PIM and will be released with KDE PIM 17.12. The code now lives in the kdepim-runtime repository.

Try: rpm -q kdepim-runtime: It prints on my machine: kdepim-runtime-17.12.0-1.1.x86_64 This version has /usr/bin/akonadi_ews_resource. Use akonadiconsole > Agents > Add > Exchange Server

Looks like I might not be running 17.12 on my system. After running rpm -q kdepim-runtimeI get: package kdepim-runtime is not installed. I tried running sudo apt-get install kdepim-runtime-17.12.0-1.1.x86_64 I get unable to locate any package kdepim-runtime-17.12.0-1.1.x86_64.

But when I run: sudo apt-get install kdepim-runtime I get kdepim-runtime is already the newest version (4:17.12.0-neon+16.04+xenial+build38) kdepim-runtime set to manually installed.

Running an rpm instruction on a Debian based distro won't probably not work. This is used in Fedora, Red Hat, CentOs and OpenSuse.
Look in Synaptic to see what is installed and what not. Easiest and safest way.
