As I understand it, Evolution's Exchange connector doesn't use webdav -
it uses screenscraping of OWA. I'm assuming this is because the webdav
protocol isn't supported fully or implemented in a way that Evolution
can connect to.

I'd be interested to hear if anyone can confirm or deny this. I use
Evolution's Exchange connector at work, and while it is something of a
dog, I'm grateful for it. And I know that if the OWA interface goes
down, so does my email.

Thanks, Tom
