[Evolution] Evolution 2.4 and Exchange

[Ralph Edwards <Ralph Edwards uconn edu>]

Paul,

Thanks for the tip. I tried running the command 
"ximian-connector-setup-2.4". After I finished the process I got this 
error message:

** (ximian-connector-setup-2.4:26432): WARNING **: LDAP authentication 
failed (0 x51)

I finally got Thunderbird working with IMAP. Evolution IMAP also works. 
Still can't get Evolution working with Exchange. I've been working with 
the UITS department but still no luck.

It was zero F here today. Wood stove felt good.

Ralph

I am working from memory but I think I got mine to work a long time ago 
using the command "ximian-connector-setup".

Good afternoon.

The University moved to Exchange about a year ago. They only support Outlook. I was able to use Evolution 2.0.4 successfully. 
Evolution 2.2 and 2.4 will not work correctly. I am able to set up the account. It is questionable if I am able to authenticate. 
The first time I click on "authenticate" I get the password prompt. If I click on "authenticate" again I get 
the error message:

"Could not configure Exchange account because an unknown error occurred. Check the URL, user name, and password, 
and try again."

If I try to connect to the server I get a variety of messages:

"Error while scanning floders in "Exchange server ....."
"Could not authenticate to server."

"Could not connect to Evolution Exchange backend process: No such file or directory."

"Mailbox for user_name is not on this server."

The user name is "uconn\user_name"

The OWA Url is "http://exchange_server (Active Directory)/exchange/user_name" 

I have tried other logical combinations to no avail.

Using Thunderbird with an IMAP account I am able to receive mail but not send mail.

Any suggestions (except to use Outlook) gratefully appreciated.

Ralph
