Evolution (3.12.2) with EWS refuses to connect to mail

[Steve O]

This is strange. After adding the gnome3-staging, doing a dist-upgrade and rebooting Evolution no longer connects to my mail account on Exchange 2010. The Calendar, contacts, notes etc all work fine, but there is a little icon that looks like a wifi icon with a question mark in it appears beside the account.

I have tried creating a new mail account and everything looks like it succeeds but the same result occurs. I have also tried removing .cache/evolution and .local/share/evolution and starting again but with no luck

I am currently purging the staging ppa so I can continue to get mail

Steve, can you test on the utopic daily CD and see if it is also a problem there? run apport-collect from the live session if it is!

So this was odd. I nuked the original install and pulled down the 14.04
from the torrents just now. After the fresh install i couldnt log in to the
UI. After a little digging i found that the installer set the uid of my
home partition to 1001. Changing this to uid 1000 allowed me to log in.

While i wait for the utopic image i am going to put the gnome staging ppa
in and give that a go to see if i can reproduce my previous problem off of
a fresh install

Confirmed. Same problem exists in utopic. Everything except email works
with ews to exchange server

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