Evolution Data Server is a personal data server, not a multi-user server. It is meant specifically as the Evolution data storage daemon, it is not a replacement for Exchange or Opengroupware.org. By releasing Evolution 2.0 (and Evolution Data Server 1.0), Evolution has been split into the frontend (called Evolution) the user interacts with, and a backend database (called Evolution Data Server) which provides interfaces and functions for other programs to interact with Evolution. For example, Gaim can synchronize its data with Evolution Data Server and Evolution’s tasks and appointments can be displayed by the Gnome clock.
