Hi,
This is my
first post on this forum and I hope I could have some help^or advice about an
issue I have with evolution.
Just for
the record : I have a project to use a linux box (SUSE 10) as I use an xp box in
my corporate network. To do so, I need and email client that could be use the
same way that users use their Outlook 2000 app.
I also do
not want to modify too much my exchange 2003 settings because I need the email
client on the linux box to conect to the exchange server with to other settings
that an xp box does, meaning that the linux box have to adapt itself with the
corporate environement.
After
looking around the net, I have found that only evolution is able to connect to
exchange 2000/2003 in 'native' mode, meaning no IMAP, POP or other special
config.
I have
installed it, I hope with the latest version but when it comes to the
configuration, it always hang ...
Here you
wil find some little informations about my settings, I will post some other
debug info later if needed (like IIS log file, ethereal
dump).

Evolution:
I have
started with a basic setup (smtp account to be sure that I can enter in the apps
(if I try to configure directly the exchange conenction, it
crash)
> I have
also imported the certificate into evolution and it appear in the root
certificates store
> then
when I try to configure the exchange connection :
- user name
: combination of mydomain.com\myusername or my username don't know which one to
use ...
- password
: plain text (the certificate server is not located on the same box as the email
server and to make it work I have setuped my iis/exchange box to accept plain
text password
* every try
to conect to the exchange server hangs the application.
* the iis
(internet information service that is to say the web server on the email server)
seems to receive the request (I see some get command on the username
folder)
* the
packets dump done with ethereal does not show any errors and things seems to
work on this side.
HAve anyone
of you be able to make evolution works with Exchange 2003 ? I really need some
help here because I don't know what makes the app hang : some settings on the
server side or maybe some setup on evolution.
Any help or
advice will be greatly appreciated !!!!
