Exchange MAPI not showing in Evolution account setup

[Richard Bukovansky]

Linux Mint 15 i386 Cinnamon

I have installed LM 15 in my VirtualBox to testdrive it, but when I install Evolution and evolution-mapi packages, I'm not able to set up my Exchange account in Evolution when creating new account, the selection for server type is not containing Exchange MAPI option.

This is working normally in LM 14 Cinnamon.

MAPI is also not showing up in the 64-bit version

This link explains the same problem in Ubuntu, and the solution worked for me too.
