Hello.
I using evolution for email, and runs well, now the next that I would like is access to my email and evolution addressbook from everywhere.
What should I install? there is any webmail that can use evolution settings? Or better a program for control that computer that I can access from any computer with a web browser? There is anything as this?
Josep

Systems I administer have an IMAP server, so people (especially me) can read their email through a variety of IMAP-capable email clients on a variety of different computers, potentially in numerous locations all over the place. That includes full access to all folders, and it works with thunderbird, mozilla mail, seamonkey mail, evolution, entourage (Mac), mail (Mac), Internet Lookout, kmail, mutt and pine that I know of.
If this is not enough and you want web access, install squirrelmail on your server.
I used squirrelmail, and address book is much less good than evolution, so maybe I will look for anything for control my desktop via web, using https if is possible.
Evolution have a great mail, contacts, calendar and tasks, and squirrelmail much more short, and can't read evolution data.

Not everyone has that view:-)
vnc through a VPN is realistic, VNC through SSH is fairly easy:
ssh -L5902:desktop.office.lan:5902 example.com
then run vncviewer listening to 127.0.0.1:5902. This assumes that "desktop.office.lan" is your box and is directly accessible from example.com. vncserver can be, but doesn't have to be, on the system you connect to using ssh.
I use this same technique to configure routers and printers over the Internet.
Yes, You are right with ssh, for when i´m in work may be ok, but under windows machines, establish ssh sessions with putty may be ok, but what can I use for control the desktop remotely in a windows machine?

You can set up a tunnel in putty and use vnc. You could also use nomachine/freenx if you're going this route.
One other suggestion (though it's a fair amount of work) would be to set up a groupware suite like open-xchange. This would combine the earlier suggestions of using ldap/database support with your goal of a web portal. You don't have to have your ldap servers publicly available, just within reach of the OX server, which can serve up the information via authenticated webpage. If you're doing this for an office setup, it might be worth taking a look at.

A VNC client?
Internet Exploder?
Your choice. Read manuals to inform yourself.

Have you thought of trying Cygwin? It's free and allows and X desktop on a Windows box.
Personally, I use X-Win32 from Starnet - it's good, but it's not free, and there's SSH support in there. There's many other X clients that you can try as well - try google for "X on windows". Just remember that you need to enable the display manager (xdm or gdm) to accept remote X sessions.

If you are on a local LAN with plenty of bandwidth, you can run X on windows and enable XDMCP logins to get the complete desktop. Xming http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Xming or the cygwin version will work nicely. If you have less bandwidth or a remote connection with some latency you can still get the same effect with freenx on the server and the free NX client from www.nomachine.com. VNC will work too. It isn't as responsive but you can add the module to your X configuration to let you grab the running console remotely so you can leave programs running and come back to them.

---- that of course doesn't satisfy the need for a universal address book which LDAP fits the bill but there is a bit of a hurdle...

I'm not convinced I want my LDAP servers accessible to the world.
Should the need arise, I'd contemplate a VPN (using openvpn) from outside, and maybe regularly review access regularly. (so as to limit damage from stolen laptops, broken windows boxes etc). "You're going away? Back Monday week?" <click><click> "Okay, you have access until Monday. Email me before then for an extension."
