Thanks. Any idea when 2.28 or 2.30 would become stable?

Evolution's OWA support only works with Exchange 2003.  It does not work
with Exchange 2007.

The only way to connnect to an Exchange 2007 server with Evolution 2.26 is
to configure MAPI on the Exchange server and use that--obviously you get no
calendaring that way.

If you upgrade to Evolution 2.28 or 2.30, you will be able to use the MAPI
backend to communicate with Exchange 2007.  However, in my experience it's
too buggy for everyday use.  YMMV.
