[Evolution] Outlook connector trying to connect to wrong Exchange server



Hi all,

I'm trying to get Evolution with the Exchange connector to talk to
the Exchange server where my mailbox resides and not having
much luck at all :( . Evolution for some reason tries to find
my mailbox and folders on one of our 4 Exchange servers
but it defaults to a particular server i've never specified anywhere in Evolution.

My setup is as follows:

cjm dapper:~$ dpkg -l| egrep 'libbonobo|evolution'
ii  evolution                              2.6.1-0ubuntu6
ii  evolution-data-server                  1.6.1-0ubuntu3
ii  evolution-exchange                     2.6.1-0ubuntu1
ii  evolution-plugins                      2.6.1-0ubuntu6
ii  evolution-webcal                       2.6.0-0ubuntu1
ii  libbonobo2-0                           2.14.0-0ubuntu1
ii  libbonobo2-common                      2.14.0-0ubuntu1
ii  libbonoboui2-0                         2.14.0-0ubuntu1
ii  libbonoboui2-common                    2.14.0-0ubuntu1
ii  libcamel1.2-8                          1.6.1-0ubuntu3
ii  libebook1.2-5                          1.6.1-0ubuntu3
ii  libecal1.2-3                           1.6.1-0ubuntu3
ii  libedata-book1.2-2                     1.6.1-0ubuntu3
ii  libedata-cal1.2-1                      1.6.1-0ubuntu3
ii  libedataserver1.2-7                    1.6.1-0ubuntu3
ii  libedataserverui1.2-6                   1.6.1-0ubuntu3
ii  libexchange-storage1.2-1               1.6.1-0ubuntu3
ii  openoffice.org-evolution               2.0.2-2ubuntu5

The company has 4 Exchange servers, one for OWA, one for storing public folders and two for user mailboxes, ie
frontendexch01
backendexch01 <-- my mailbox resides on this one
backendexch02
backendexch03

After reading the following document, http://galaxycow.com/blogs/vermyndax/archive/2005/10/18/2380.aspx,
I've realised I have to point the OWA url to backendexch02, where my mailbox resides, because of frontendexch01
using "forms-based" authentication instead of "windows-based" authentication. The settings in the "Receiving Email"
tab seem to be correct, because hitting the "Authenticate" button doesn't return any errors, but when I hit send/receive
I get prompted to enter my password to authenticate to backendexch01. backendexch01 only contains public folders,
so I can't figure out why it tries to find my mailbox on this server. In my "Receiving Email" tab, my settings
are as follows:

Server Type: Exchange
Username: DOMAIN\name.surname (I've tried DOMAIN/name.surname as well)
OWA URL: http://backendexch02/exchange/name.surname
Authentication Type: Secure Password (tried Plain Text too)


Any ideas are most welcome :).

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Christopher
