I can't add an Exchange account at all from within Evolution
i believe your first problem is, not being able to configure an account using Evolutions account setup wizard, So file a bug in bugzilla.gnome.org, against the product Evolution Exchange, explaining the error code you are getting. And also attach the log file you get when the authentication fails. Also specify that x-c-s creates the account, but screws it up and the details. I am currently not working on Exchange connector, so it'll be good if you file a bug, so that QA can track it and assign it to the person who is working on this issue. You can also give a link to this mail thread in the bug for the reference. > (Forward button is never enabled after Authenticate), > ximian-connector-setup-2.6 seems to screw up the auto-configuration > (unless I'm very specific on that OWA URL to include my mailbox), it > drops the https back to http when I try and edit the account added by > ximian-connector-setup-2.6, and I can't correct the OWA URL back to > https by editing the account (OK is never enabled after Authenticate > when editing the "Receiving Mail" tab). > > > for getting debug traces, set E2K_DEBUG=4 in a console and run Evolution > > See http://www.gnome.org/projects/evolution/bugs.shtml for more details. > > Ok...
