        Hi,
from that thread, as you use Outlook 2003, while EWS was added in time
of 2007, then it's quite unlikely that the 2003 Outlook knows anything
about EWS. And even that, the RPC-over-HTTP (these days called "Outlook
Anywhere") is a MAPI thing. I was told that Exchange 2013 server rejects
MAPI connections on regular ports and supports only RPC-over-HTTP for
MAPI.

David's reply on the above thread should make the difference, but EWS
didn't use proxy settings in that time.

Makes sense, the proxy settings reading for EWS was added only recently,
for 3.8.3+, at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698728

True. It might be good to try. By the way, if I'm not mistaken, the EWS
has also its special public address to be reachable from the outer
network. I believe your admins should be able to tell you the details
for EWS connection. Note the URL usually ends with the patch David wrote
in the cited thread above.
        Bye,
