Maverick : Evolution fails with a segmentation fault when trying to create mapi connection to Exchange 2007

[Tony Mugan]

Binary package hint: evolution-mapi

I have a newly-built Maverick box and cannot create the account in Evolution for a mapi link to an Exchange 2007 server.

The attempt to create the account in Evolution fails with a segmentation fault.

This machine was rebuilt from the one used to log this previous issue with Evolution.

I found the workaround in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution-mapi/+bug/375359 works here as well for now... using IP address instead of dns name does not segfault for me on Maverick.

Thanks, Mike.

Using the IP Address worked for me also.

Mike,

Does your Global Address List work?
Mine is empty.

I can send email if I specify the full email address manually.

My whole Calendar is also blank in Evolution on Maverick.

Regards,

Tony.

Yes, my GAL and Calendar work fine, although sometimes the invites crash my Evolution when viewing them.

Other than that, the only other problem I'm experiencing is for some reason replying to some emails my response gets sent looking like Chinese.

Fixed my chinese issue... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution-mapi/+bug/519025/comments/22

Seems crashing on appointment invites is my main remaining issue.

Same problem here, resolved with using IP address (w/evolution-mapi); new problem now, not sure if it's related or a problem with our Exchange 2007 server:

Failed to bind to uuid (uuid number) - NT_STATUS_NET_WRITE_FAULT

No matter what combination of username and password I use, I can't get it to authenticate. Authentication on said Exchange 2007 server works fine otherwise; Outlook, Evolution IMAP, our OWA web interface, etc.
