your home still contains the .goncf/ and .evolution/ directories. Have you tried moving these away and see if you can reconfigure the Exchange server from scratch ? Make sure you keep a copy, though :)

For your case, I mostly suspect that the Exchange server name is resolved by WINS on other users computers (assuming other users use Outlook etc. on Windows) while your DNS accepts the same name but resolves to a different address.

In my case, everything worked well in 7.10. I installed 8.04 from scratch, not even keeping my home directory. I am now unable to set up an exchange account. I hit the exact same problem as described in the case ("Key file does not have key ...") and the SSL woes described in bug #207723. I am sure evo tries to reach the proper server as checked with a sniffer.

This bug is really about users migrating from 7.10 (working) to 8.04 (not working). I do see people who claim 8.04 works for them and I am very curious what the difference is.

Qi Liu's analysis is also interesting but I do not think my company uses a customize page on OWA (looks pretty bland); I wonder about others.
