RE: [Evolution] spa authentication with msn

["Kasumo Morris" <kmoose msn com>]

My windows box uses the same settings to connect to the msn email servers.
I did try all the other authentication types available in the list box, and
each time I received an error of some failed authentication.  I guess should
ask if anyone has been successful using evolution to connect to the msn
email servers.  If more info about the error messages I get with each
authentication type is needed, I will provide it.

Here is a link from Microsoft Support Services instructing the use of SPA
authentication for their network:

This means what it says it means. Your server doesn't support that
authentication type. Can't u use the (standard) password method? Else
press the "check for supported types" button, then you'll see which'll
work (those not supported will be grayed out in the list).
