Re: [Evolution] Enabling ActiveSync in Evolution

[Robert Maerz <robrt mrz googlemail com>]

Hi,

Thank you very much for the pointer to check via terminal. In doing so
I spotted the issue which prevented me from seeing ActiveSync in the
right place. HOWEVER:

Now I am facing another issue which boils down to the fact that when
adding mailboxes, Evolution never asks for credentials to be used with
the inbox. This leads to z-push, which I am trying to connect Evolution
to, refusing the connection due to missing authentication. When used
via mobile or web, z-push should log something like this:


"
25/03/2019 20:46:03 [22799] [ INFO] [user] User-agent: 'Mozilla/5.0
(X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko)
Chrome/72.0.3626.121 Safari/537.36'
25/03/2019 20:46:03 [22799] [ INFO] [user] cmd='' memory='1.72 MiB/2.00
MiB' time='0.07s' devType='' devId='' getUser='user' from='<IP
Address>' idle='0s' version='' method='GET' httpcode='200'
" 

But Evolution's call results in this:

"
25/03/2019 20:45:58 [ 6638] [ INFO] [#unknown]
AuthenticationRequiredException: Access denied. Please send
authorisation information - code: 0 - file: /usr/share/webapps/z-
push/index.php:56
25/03/2019 20:45:58 [ 6638] [ INFO] [#unknown] User-agent: 'unknown'
25/03/2019 20:45:58 [ 6638] [FATAL] [#unknown] Exception:
(AuthenticationRequiredException) - Access denied. Please send
authorisation information
25/03/2019 20:45:58 [ 6638] [ INFO] [#unknown] cmd='' memory='1.60
MiB/2.00 MiB' time='0.07s' devType='' devId='' getUser='unknown'
from='<IP Address>' idle='0s' version='' method='GET' httpcode='401'
"

Evolution itself then shows this error:

"
GDBus.Error:org.meego.activesyncd.Error.Failed: HTTP response type was
not WBXML.
"

I haven't yet found a way to tell Evolution it should ask me for a
username and password. If you can provide any hints I'd really
appreciate it!
