        Hi,
well, my understanding of the thing is that RPC-over-HTTP [1] is for
MAPI protocol, not for EWS, because EWS uses SOAP, not RPC. I would not
be surprised if your Outlook uses MAPI in the background, not EWS [2].
Ask your admins on a connection point/address for EWS, and then try to
create an evolution-ews account in evolution with that address filled.
Do not be bothered with non-functional "Fetch URL", the server can have
disabled autodiscovery.
        Bye,
        Milan

[2] I'm pretty sure that Outlook 2007 uses MAPI protocol exclusively,
while Outlook 2010 may have somewhere an option to switch between EWS
and MAPI, though I do not have available the Outlook 2010 version, to
guide you more precisely. On the other hand, the Outlook 2013 may use as
its primary protocol EWS.
