How would you like to receive feedback? On the list (as I do now), by
personal email only, or by a bug tracker?


I compiled and installed it, and it successfully accepted my connection
to the server. But nothing works :-(

When trying to expand the account, I get the error message:

"Error while Scanning folders in 'Exchange server <<servername>>'. No
response"

and in the terminal where I started it:
"(evolution:14032): camel-ews-provider-WARNING **: Unable to fetch the
folder hierarchy: No response :287"


This is with evolution 3.0.0 in Fedora 15 beta, using the alpha tarball
(0.31.0-ALPHA), since I can't make the git HEAD compile.


Best,
