Hi,

Many thanks for the quick response!
The workaround helped indeed! Emails, calendar and addresses are being sync'd again.
Only once in a while there pops up a message in the UI about a failed authentication when trying to sync some subfolder of my mailbox, After klicking it away everything continues smoothly.

Will there be a regular update for Fedora 23 (obtainable via dnf) which will contain a patched version of "ntlm_auth"?

Bye,
Erik
