Re: [Evolution] Enabling ActiveSync in Evolution

[Robert Maerz <robrt mrz googlemail com>]

Hi,

I still can not connect via ActiveSync because I am never asked for a
password and the relevant DConf key never gets created. When compared
to the schema, only a few keys are present like the one for email
address and the server; password however is missing. Both configuration
tools that are part of the git source for EAS do not compile (one not
ported to QT5.6, the MLITE one erroring out during make) so I am left
with no way to intervene manually. Running Evolution with DEBUG flags
as below produces the following relevant output. Google seems to be of
no use here, so I am hoping someone on this list knows how to solve
this.

Kind regards,
Robert
