[Evolution] Unable to Add Account

[Justin Brown <justin brown fandingo org>]

Hello,

I'm using Evolution 3.6.4, and I'm having a rather strange problem. Yesterday I configured a new Exchange account using EWS on my alternate laptop. Today, I am trying to repeat the procedure on my primary laptop (on the same network). 

The problem is that Evolution doesn't seem to remember the account once I create it. 

Every time I launch Evolution it starts the setup wizard. I proceed through setup and configure the EWS URL and user name. Authentication succeeds, and I can even fetch the address book list for caching. Once the wizard is finished, Evolution starts properly, but there is no account: neither in the main mail window nor in mail accounts in preferences. 

It's quite strange because I configured Evolution just yesterday using the exact same Fedora 18 package.

I also tried configuring this account as MAPI but experienced the same amnesia problem. I was able to successfully configure a IMAP Gmail account and didn't have any problems.

I have tried the following to no avail.

• Reinstall evolution, evolution-mapi, and evolution-ews packages.
• rm -rf ~/.local/share/evolution ~/.config/evolution
• Cleared out saved credentials from Gnome keyring.
• Launched Evolution from a terminal to see if there were any error messages. There weren't any.

I'm having a somewhat difficult time understanding the file names in ~/.config/evolution/sources, but Evolution creates several files in there after completing the wizard. For example, here's one:

[Data Source]

DisplayName=jbrown DOMAIN_REDACTED

Enabled=true

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Justin
