Re: [Evolution] Cannot Authenticate with Exchange Server

["Davis Ford" <davisford gmail com>]

Hi Art,

I seem to have gotten slightly farther but no dice.

TANA is the NT domain, davidfor is the domain login, but the full
email is david ford somewhere com 

If I enter david ford somewhere com for the username in evo, it does
the same HTTP exchange, and then responds with another dialog box to
re-enter the password a second time.  When I do this, it generates the
old error dialog box: Could not authenticate, check username/password,
blah blah.

Looking at the HTTP exchange, it just repeats the same exchange again
-- I see nothing new in the headers.
