This may be your problem.  This format URL worked fine for me under
Evo 22.  But when I switched to Evo 2.4, I coudln't read any mail.

I rectified the situation by:
1) Changing my OWA URL to https://emailserver/exchange
2) Deleting my ~/.evolution

I've never had to use domain\username, but I'll bet it varies based on
setup.

I haven't ever been able to get plain text passwords working.  Again,
this could be an exchange setup difference, not sure.  But Secure Auth
always works for me.
