I'm trying to get Evolution with the Exchange connector to talk to
the Exchange server where my mailbox resides and not having
much luck at all :( . Evolution for some reason tries to find
my mailbox and folders on one of our 4 Exchange servers
but it defaults to a particular server i've never specified anywhere in Evolution.
My setup is as follows:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg -l| egrep 'libbonobo|evolution'
ii evolution 2.6.1-0ubuntu6
ii evolution-data-server 1.6.1-0ubuntu3
ii evolution-exchange 2.6.1-0ubuntu1
ii evolution-plugins 2.6.1-0ubuntu6
ii evolution-webcal 2.6.0-0ubuntu1
ii libbonobo2-0 2.14.0-0ubuntu1
ii libbonobo2-common 2.14.0-0ubuntu1
ii libbonoboui2-0 2.14.0-0ubuntu1
ii libbonoboui2-common 2.14.0-0ubuntu1
ii libcamel1.2-8 1.6.1-0ubuntu3
ii libebook1.2-5 1.6.1-0ubuntu3
ii libecal1.2-3 1.6.1-0ubuntu3
ii libedata-book1.2-2 1.6.1-0ubuntu3
ii libedata-cal1.2-1 1.6.1-0ubuntu3
ii libedataserver1.2-7 1.6.1-0ubuntu3
ii libedataserverui1.2-6 1.6.1-0ubuntu3
ii libexchange-storage1.2-1 1.6.1-0ubuntu3
ii openoffice.org-evolution 2.0.2-2ubuntu5
The company has 4 Exchange servers, one for OWA, one for storing public folders and two for user mailboxes, ie
frontendexch01
backendexch01 <-- my mailbox resides on this one
backendexch02
backendexch03
After reading the following document, http://galaxycow.com/blogs/vermyndax/archive/2005/10/18/2380.aspx,
I've realised I have to point the OWA url to backendexch02, where my mailbox resides, because of frontendexch01
using "forms-based" authentication instead of "windows-based" authentication. The settings in the "Receiving Email"
tab seem to be correct, because hitting the "Authenticate" button doesn't return any errors, but when I hit send/receive
I get prompted to enter my password to authenticate to backendexch01. backendexch01 only contains public folders,
so I can't figure out why it tries to find my mailbox on this server. In my "Receiving Email" tab, my settings
are as follows:
Server Type: Exchange
Username: DOMAIN\name.surname (I've tried DOMAIN/name.surname as well)
OWA URL: http://backendexch02/exchange/name.surname
Authentication Type: Secure Password (tried Plain Text too)
Any ideas are most welcome :).
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Christopher
