After upgrading to Ubuntu 11.10, existing Groupwise accounts do not work in Evolution. If I try to create a new account, there is no option to choose a Groupwise account. It appears that this functionality is no longer built in to Ubuntu 11.10 and the package "evolution-groupwise" is not available in the repositories...

Transcribed answer from the Ubuntu forums:

Start by installing git

sudo apt-get install git

Next, download the source code (several commands)

git clone git://git.gnome.org/evolution-groupwise
cd evolution-groupwise
git checkout -b 3.2.0-patch EVOLUTION_GROUPWISE_3_2_0

# This is the patch for the SOAP port bug
git cherry-pick 3aae80f55d5fd565274f19210564e74d5350a66c 

Using any editor, edit configure.ac at about line 48 add the line

AC_CHECK_LIB(gthread-2.0, g_thread_init)

Install the dependencies

sudo apt-get build-dep evolution

Compile

./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install

Last, using any editor, edit /etc/services add in the lines

groupwise 1677/tcp
groupwise 1677/udp
-1
