Comment 4 for bug 105052

I ran into the same issue as the original submitter. Unfortunately, the only thing that was written to my .xsession-errors while I tried to create the account was :

(evolution-2.10:17383): e-utils-WARNING **: Cannot resolve symbol 'org_gnome_new_mail_config' in plugin '/usr/lib/evolution/2.10/plugins/liborg-gnome-new-mail-notify.so' (not exported?)
BBDB spinning up...

...which doesn't seem to be related to our problem.

In my case, the issue lies with authentication. During the Feisty development cycle (Herd4 -> release), the Exchange Connector was working correctly, e.g. the "Forward" button was enabled after Exchange confirmed your credentials with the OWA server by using the "Authenticate" button. Since a clean Feisty re-install, I keep getting the following message while trying to authenticate :

Could not authenticate to server
Make sure the username and password are correct and try again.

Note that for some reason, the button "Forward" can be enabled by selecting "IMAP" in the "Server Type" box, entering the server name, clicking "Forward", clicking "Back" then choosing "Microsoft Exchange". That said, the resulting configuration won't work.

Using Feisty with the latest updates. The server I am trying to use is "powered" by Microsoft Exchange 2003.
