        Hi,
it sounds just like [1]. There is no resolution for it yet, just that it
affects more than evolution-mapi. I do not know what your Exchange
server is, but maybe with 2007/2010 version you can try evolution-ews.
Of course, the 3.4.x is kind of old, the current stable is 3.6.2, while
the date for 3.6.3 is set on the 21st of January.

With respect of the kerberos, it really depends on the logs, though
there was done a fix for kerberos logins in evolution-mapi 3.5.4, which
was released on 2012-07-16, and is part of 3.6.x. The fix is part of
evolution-mapi 3.4.4 as well. evolution-mapi is using Samba4 to connect
to your server, thus it reads the kerberos configuration, but from where
I do no not know. They used the /etc/krb5.conf the last time I tried
kerberos logins.
        Bye,
        Milan
