I suspect it was related to the problem with evo install failing.  This
is still present, although now it's failing because of scrollkeeper
permissions errors instead of incorrectly installed shared libs.

Unfortunately, your mail client encapsulated the screenshot in ms-tnef
(Microsoft Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format) which is a
proprietary Microsoft encapsulation format that I don't have a decoder
for on my Linux system.  So, I can't see it.  Maybe you could convince
your mail client to use a standards based encoding such as base64 or
similar?

I don't remember what version of Evo you were using before, but note
that newer versions have a significantly simpler screen for entering
Exchange account information.  Basically you'll be asked only for two
things: a username and a URL; if that's what you're seeing then this is
absolutely correct and not a bug.

Cheers!
