Bill,

Here's how I got my 2.8.2 to worked on our system:

In Evolution, I set up a new account, identifying it as ms exchange,
instead of POP3 etc. Under the "Receiving Email" tab, I used my office
username (your alias?) in the username field, then
https://owaserver/exchange -- no alias after exchange -- in the OWA URL:
field. Because I use Evolution on my personal laptop, which doubles as
my work machine, I made sure to use my office email address in the
appropriate fields under the "Identity" tab. 

After I did all that, I got a folder tree for office email in
Evolution's email-folder pane. And I can click-and-drag the office email
into folders I have under On This Computer, where I archive them.

Pete
