Well, I don't know about embarassing, but the problem for me is complicated by the fact that I'm trying to connect to my company through an IT run web service, so I have no control over the other end to even suggest what might be going on. From what I read of the problem on the Microsoft website, the solution doesn't seem simple as a different authentication DLL is supplied, which Evolution isn't familiar with. Maybe newer updates to evolution-exchange? Since I last posted, I switched to Ubuntu and am at Gutsy. I don't know if that means an updated evolution-exchange plugin, but it did update evolution and I haven't tried. I did try it in Feisty with the same results, so presumably the plugin hadn't changed.

If Steffen Torp is willing to post 25 EUR, I'll match that in dollars at a 1.35 exchange (I don't know what todays rate it exactly), but it should come out to around $35 or $40 dollars... So that is $80 for someone. If no one takes it, then I might have to look into it myself, but as I said, I don't know how far I can actually get without access to the other side to see logs and so forth.

I did not try to suggested patch yet. No time. I just went back to the web browser (read "el-sucko") method of using exchange... There's got to be a better way. Ugh.

Roboknight.
