Still no go.
Clicking on Fetch URL the first time causes
the GUI to ask for my password.
After I give it, the dialog box goes away and nothign changes.
I do get
** (evolution:29449): WARNING **: Autodiscover failed: Code: 6 -
Unexpected response from server
written to the command line,
but I expect that that provides you with no additional information.
