[Evolution] Connecting to Exchange Server 2003

[Victor Warner <vwarner waitrose com>]

Thank you for your messages

Mario, I tried your suggestions, but they may no difference.

Anders, I tried to follow the thread you linked, but I guest the key 
part is this part of it:

"1.  shutdown Evolution: "evolution --force-shutdown"
2.  shutdown gconfd: "gconftool-2 --shtdown"
2.  edit ~/.gconf/apps/evolution/mail/%gconf.xml
3.  Change [protocol]://[USER]@ to [protocol]://[USER];auth=Plain@
under <source> (and <transport> if your server requires authentication
for sending)
4.  Start evolution (gconfd will restart automatically)"

But do not see anything in the file %gconf.xml which matches 3., 
certainly not auth=Plain@ or auth=Basic etc.

I have reproduced the whole of the %gconf.xml file below.

I am not sure how "Re-create using the "ximian-connector-2-setup" (not 
sure of exact name)" differs from setting up  an account through 
Settings/Tools etc in Evolution.

One fact I did not mention in my original post was that Windows 2003 
Server uses Active Directory. Not sure if this is relevant.

I would really appreciate some further help.
