Re: [Evolution] Problem(s) connecting with OWA MS Exchange Server 2003

["Louis Ezra" <louis ezra gmail com>]

I removed the last "/" and this made no difference. 

When I press the "Authenticate" button, I get a window requesting a password, I enter the password, then nothing for 15-45 seconds, then I get a SuSE "Bug Buddy" window telling me that Evolution has just crashed and asking if I want to send a report.

It does this everytime when I press authenticate.

I am not behind a firewall, and am not using a proxy. 

Any other suggestions? I've scoured the web and read at least a dozen how-to pages for configuring Evolution for OWA Exchange.

Thanks for the response.

FWIW...I've been using Evolution since the Ximian days, (2001?) and have actually been very happy with it.This is by FAR the biggest problem that I've had so far. 

Thanks again.

Only use the URL as above, try removing the last "/".
What happens when you press the Authenticate button at this config
dialog?
I guess logging in from a browser works fine? use exactly the URL,
username and password you use in the browser.

Do you have a proxy setup?

Welcome to Evolution mail - I sorry to say that I still have a icon on
my desktop that kills all Evol processes ("evolution --force-shutdown")
and restarts the whole lot, with debugging, that I use about twice a day
(much less since I started using 2.10.1).
I have narrowed most of my crashes as Automatic Filtering - when I
filter by hand (select all and hit ctrl-Y) it all works sort-of OK.  So
for now make sure all auto-filtering is off.

So-far every version of Evo have felt like being in Beta, since I start
using it, about 5 versions ago (in all fairness, I only use it for
Exchange mail)
