Comment 0 for bug 1228154

I'm using evolution-ews to connect to MS Exchange but the problem is that frequently reports "password is incorrect" when in fact I entered the correct password.
I'm saying frequently, which means I need to try 40-50 times to get in once. I don't really get a feel of what is changing when it let's me in. I need to restart Evolution many times and try the password many times and once it just works.

If I connect to https://[server]/EWS/Exchange.asmx directly from the browser, then I have no problem authenticating.

I have tried EWS_DEBUG=2 evolution, but all I see that the SOAP request is sent and I receive "Unauthorized" as a response.

Below are the debug details (I have shortened the SyncState hash in the xml):
