Re: [Evolution] Global Address List Empty

[Louis Becker <LBecker meatco com na>]

Dear Milan

Thank you very much.

If I follow your instructions for the offline address book and click on
"Fetch List" button, I get a new password request for the <EWS
account>. Although I put in the correct username and password the
password request just keeps on popping up again and again. Consequently
I am not able to select a list. Any idea why?

Louis
