Re: Evolution with exchange

[Jamie Dow <j dow leeds ac uk>]

Matt & others,
I'm now back at my Fedora machine (at work) and I can't even try your suggestion.

As soon as I set the conduits to the relevant Exchange calendar / addressbook / todos and then click on OK, when I open up the same conduit settings immediately afterwards the setting for which of the Evolution calendar/addressbook/todos to sync has gone blank. It just does not seem to want to accept the exchange settings.

I've tried changing the "make available offline" setting for each of these, and it makes no difference.

I'm totally at a loss as to what to do here. It's very annoying. (Am trying to ditch windows, but if I can't sync my PDA with my work calendar and contacts, I'm going to be very much stuck with it.)

Cheers for any advice.
Jamie
