Hi,
Provide the OWA Url and usernames, as you give it to OWA and it should work.
Not in my case. I can't get the "OK" button to come back.
Some users having a problem in the scenario where windows logon and is different that mailbox name.
It's worse than that. The connector insists that it thinks it knows
what the mailbox "should be" based on erroneous information and won't
let you change it, even if you know the correct values and it doesn't,
in some cases. In my case, somewhere deep in the bowels of Exchange, I
"own" a global mailing distribution list named "pgpkeys". My mailbox is
"mhw" (which I access using POP and fetchmail because this thing is
broken, so I KNOW exactly what it really is). When I try and set up my
OWA Url using the setup application, I end up with a URL under
preferences of http://server/exchange/pgpkeys instead of
https://server/exchange/mhw (and the damn http vs https is another
aspect to the whole problem). I can't get it to accept the correct
values. If I change anything on the damn OWA URL line the OK button
grays out and won't come back, no matter what I do.
You are also having the similar setup?
Basically, anything that doesn't seem to fit the connectors simplistic
view of how Exchange "should be" set up seems to be broken. There's no
override to tell it to "do as I tell you to do".
Thanks, Sushma.
Suggestions on how to force feed the correct information to the
connector or how to hand edit the configurations would be greatly
appreciated.

Evolution for some reason tries to find my mailbox and folders on one of our 4 Exchange servers but it defaults to a particular server i've never specified anywhere in Evolution. My setup is as follows: cjm dapper:~$ dpkg -l| egrep 'libbonobo|evolution' ii evolution 2.6.1-0ubuntu6 ii evolution-data-server 1.6.1-0ubuntu3 ii evolution-exchange 2.6.1-0ubuntu1 ii evolution-plugins 2.6.1-0ubuntu6 ii evolution-webcal 2.6.0-0ubuntu1 ii libbonobo2-0 2.14.0-0ubuntu1 ii libbonobo2-common 2.14.0-0ubuntu1 ii libbonoboui2-0 2.14.0-0ubuntu1 ii libbonoboui2-common 2.14.0-0ubuntu1 ii libcamel1.2-8 1.6.1-0ubuntu3 ii libebook1.2-5 1.6.1-0ubuntu3 ii libecal1.2-3 1.6.1-0ubuntu3 ii libedata-book1.2-2 1.6.1-0ubuntu3 ii libedata-cal1.2-1 1.6.1-0ubuntu3 ii libedataserver1.2-7 1.6.1-0ubuntu3 ii libedataserverui1.2-6 1.6.1-0ubuntu3 ii libexchange-storage1.2-1 1.6.1-0ubuntu3 ii openoffice.org-evolution 2.0.2-2ubuntu5 The company has 4 Exchange servers, one for OWA, one for storing public folders and two for user mailboxes, ie frontendexch01 backendexch01 <-- my mailbox resides on this one backendexch02 backendexch03 After reading the following document, http://galaxycow.com/blogs/vermyndax/archive/2005/10/18/2380.aspx, I've realised I have to point the OWA url to backendexch02, where my mailbox resides, because of frontendexch01 using "forms-based" authentication instead of "windows-based" authentication. The settings in the "Receiving Email" tab seem to be correct, because hitting the "Authenticate" button doesn't return any errors, but when I hit send/receive I get prompted to enter my password to authenticate to backendexch01. backendexch01 only contains public folders, so I can't figure out why it tries to find my mailbox on this server. In my "Receiving Email" tab, my settings are as follows: Server Type: Exchange Username: DOMAIN\name.surname (I've tried DOMAIN/name.surname as well) OWA URL: http://backendexch02/exchange/name.surname Authentication Type: Secure Password (tried Plain Text too) Any ideas are most welcome :). Thanks in advance.
