Comment 23 for bug 107974

I wanted to follow up that using the IP address for the account is still working fine for me. As I said before, the fix for constantly getting the request for your password seems to be to delete your exchange account in Evolution and delete and references to the server in Seahorse. Then recreate the exchange account in Evolution.

The settings in Evolution that work for me are on the Receiving Email tab,

username (without the domain) i.e. "andy" not "engr\andy"

https://server ip address/

then click Authenticate and your mailbox name is filled in automatically. For Authentication Type, I'm using, "Plaintext Password".

On the receiving options tab, I have checked the following,
"Check for new messages every 10 minutes"
"Password Expiry Warning period:7"
"Automatically synchronize account locally"
"Apply filters to new messages in Inbox on this server" - > this is important if you have filters you want to run to move mail to certain folders

The rest of the tabs in the exchange setup use the defaults.

Hopefully this helps someone.
Thanks,
Andy
