RE: [Evolution] exchange connector

[Sushma Rai <rsushma novell com>]

I think exchange operations plugin is not loaded for you.
There was a issue of it not getting loaded automatically, when some
other plugin fails, and it was fixed in 2.6

Enable it from edit->plugins menu and try to create the account.
Enter user name and OWA url as you provide for OWA.

Thanks,
Sushma.
