RE: [Evolution] exchange connector

["Bhaskar, KS" <KS Bhaskar fnf com>]

With the release of the evolution 2.6.1-1 packages for Debian, I
upgraded by Debian Testing release (the packages are still in Unstable;
I explicitly installed the new versions).  Now, when I start evolution
(with a pre-existing Exchange account from evolution 2.0), it asks me
for my Exhange password, but I don't see the Exchange server in
evolution.

I checked to ensure that the Exchange plugin is enabled.  It is checked.
When I look at my Exchange account, however, I find that Exchange is not
listed under the list of available server types.

Below are messages when I try starting it up.  Thank you very much, in
advance.

Regards
