RE: [Evolution] exchange connector

["Eustace, Glen" <G Eustace massey ac nz>]

I am still waiting for a resolution for this issue.  It came in with
Evolution 2.4 and is still broken at 2.6, to date, I can not get an
acknowledgement out of Ximian/Novell that they even admit there is
something wrong but I can assure them there is.  I have been using Evo
for quite a while, in fact I started when one had to pay for the
Evo-connector.  It worked great until 2.4 and hasn't worked since.

The cause, apparently, is an incorrect assumption (in the code) about
mailboxes and userids. Something about the user and primary mailbox now
needing to be the same. From what I can gather, for many organisations
this is the case, in ours, it is not.

Can someone from Ximian/Novell please join the discussion as I would
*REALLY* like to get this fixed.
