I understand. Makes sense.

I've been tinkering with this, and unfortunately it doesn't seem to
work for me yet... I think (not sure) that it must be handled in the
web session somehow when i authenticate from citrix netscaler and then
get redirected to the EWS OWA url.
I've confirmed this by opening up a second browser... it complains at
me and asks me to login again.

Also, strangely, when I open up another browser it asks me to log in
again... so its definitely not looking at my MAC or IP.

I'm definitely not able to use outlook on this workstation... I can
only use outlook on a desktop as a service system running windows,
again, authenticated through citrix.

It's a mess and I have a lot of mail. :/   I'll let you know if I come
up with anything.  Maybe I can get davmail to sit in the middle and
then have evolution pull from that via imap/etc..
