Re: [Evolution] exchange connector

["K.S. Bhaskar" <ks bhaskar fnf com>]

I see exactly the same behavior when I try 
https://exchange-server/exchange/ks.bhaskar with the x1234567 style 
userid.  Strangely enough, when I use ximian-connector-setup-2.6, it 
sets up the account perfectly, but evolution is then unable to access it.
