evolution crashes when I try adding an exchange account (breezy)

[Chris Moore]

install evolution and evolution-exchange
run evolution
choose 'preferences' from the 'edit' menu
on the 'mail accounts' screen, click 'add'
in the mail configuration assistant, click 'forward'
enter a 'full name' and an 'email address' and click 'forward'
in 'server type' pick 'microsoft exchange'. evolution will 'quit unexpectedly'.

This happens every time for me.

[Thomas Hood (jdthood)]

It happens for me too. It doesn't matter what kind of 'server type' is chosen

[Juan Pablo Pincheira Barrera (jpincheira)]

I got the same when I was selecting one of receiving options (groupware, imap,
pop, etc.).

[Chris Moore (dooglus)]

I still see this happening with the recent update to "evolution (2.3.4-0ubuntu1)
breezy"

[Richard Samson (richard)]

I got the same when I select any of server type to add a new account.

[Jorge Castro (jorge)]

Confirming, using 2.3.4-0ubuntu1. Changing Package to "evolution" since it
affects all account types.

[Guillermo Gutiérrez (capitanterrex)]

yes, i can confirm this bug;
but when you select the option using the keyboard
(tab, enter, space, uparrow and downarrow),
there is noting problem.

[Tom Badran (tom-badran)]

Just adding an extra note, it seems to be a generic drop down selection in the
wizard problem. If you leave the server as none and go forward to the sending
page, and try to change from smtp to sendmail, same crash.

[Jorge Castro (jorge)]

Maybe this is: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=307794

which was just reported fixed upstream.
