Evoltiion-ews keeps asking for password for web xchange

[Vipul]

During setup exchange ews asks for password and accepts it, but later on on every restarts it keeps asking for password and does not fetch emails. This account works perfectly on Android.

Any update to this? I am suddenly having this issue where I can setup the account but then when it's time to send/receive emails, it keeps prompting me for the password and when I enter my password it says it's incorrect.

The problem for me was that it could not resolve my Exchange Servers host name. Once I straightened that out it connected right away. I'm not sure if that is your problem or not, but could it be?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I can confirm this: Ubuntu 14.04, Evolution 3.10.4. with EWS Exchange account.
Evolution asks for password after start, then I cand fetch emails, but after few minutes it asks again and claims password is wrong - which is untrue - i made sure of it. At the same time Evolution's entry disappears from gnome keyring. I tried to recreate Exchange account, but it didn't help.
