[Evolution] Avoiding Exchange Public Folders



I use Evo 2.8.3 on FC6.  I work in a corporate environment that uses Microsoft Exchange, so my use of Evo 
marks me as an outcast.  I prefer the term "progressive"; but I digress.  I've been using Evo with the 
Connector to successfully process my email for many months now. However, changes are happening and we're 
moving to MSE 2007.  The first step in this move happened last week.  Today, I find myself unable to connect 
to Exchange.  I've tried deleting the account info after disconnecting, deleting ~my/.evolution folder, and 
deleting ~my/.gnome2_private/Evolution.  But, when I try to redefine the account, chosing "Microsoft 
Exchange" and the proper credentials and OWA server URL, I get prompted for a password to authenticate to a 
server I have no interest in or intention to access.  This server is solely devoted to hosting our Outlook 
Public Folders.  When I give my proper password to this challenge, it just tells me that the server name is 
probably wrong and round and round we go.  I don't really care to see the Public Folders anyway.  How can I 
convince Evo not to try to look at that server?
