[Evolution] Re: [connector] <user>@<domain> vs. <domain>\<user>

["Sushma Rai" <rsushma novell com>]

Yes, As of now Exchange connector supports 
<username> or <domainname>\<username>

But if one can authenticate using username domainname (email id)
through OWA, then Exchange Connector also should support it.

You can definitely file a bug on this. Please 
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323345 and see if there is
already a bug on this before filing a new bug.

Thanks,
Sushma.
