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

Same problem here:
Sending mails in pure text without attachments is possible.
Sending mails in HTML fails - WriteStream: MAPI-Fehler MAPI_E_CALL_FAILED (0x80004005)
Sending mails in pure text with attachment fails - WriteStream: MAPI-Fehler MAPI_E_CALL_FAILED (0x80004005)

Also, it's not possible to browser the global adresslist.
Personal contact list stored on Exchange is useable.

12.10
I cannot send in HTML or text, unless its a one word email in which case it will send as plain text.

(I believe I read about a similar bug a while ago due to mail being over a certain size relating to this but I cannot find it)

[Sebastian Martinez (tychocity)]

i confirm same bug in evolution-mapi 3.6.0-0ubuntu1 and exchange 2003 cluster environment.

[Sebastian Martinez (tychocity)]

this error appears when i reply to all.

[Vipul Agarwal (vipulagarwal10)]

I can confirm this bug. I can send out emails in plain text but not in HTML.

[Patrick Fratczak (patfrat)]

I confirm this bug too.
mapi v3.6.0-0ubuntu1 / Exchange 2003 / ubuntu 12.10 recently updated from 12.04
MAPI_E_CALL_FAILED (0x80004005)

[Sebastian Martinez (tychocity)]

If I delete the text of the message can be sent, may be by mail size?

[Bakay Árpád (arpad-bakay)]

I can also confirm the same error, just after a 12.10 upgrade.

I also found that mails below some limit (like 800-1000 plain ASCII chars) send OK, but longer ones fail, even if the mail is still plain ASCII.

Rebuilding Evo ('stable' 3.6.1 from the Gnome download site), did not help either, so I have created the following bugreport for Evolution:

[Chris (chrisspelberg)]

This bug seems fixed in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=682449

How much work is it to include the fix in the 12.10 packages?

[luiscachog (k4ch0)]

I confirm this bug too.

I build a new openchange package in my PPA ppa:dac922/test

If you want to test it, try:

  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dac922/test
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get upgrade

[Ralf Stangneth (rstangneth)]

@dac922:

I just tested your package - it works! Awesome!

I'm so happy, that i do not need our Citrix-provided Outlook anymore! It's an early Christmas present for me!
Thanks!

[Eric McIntyre (macdaddyaz)]

I also tried your new library and can confirm it worked for me. Thanks!

[Vipul Agarwal (vipulagarwal10)]

Hi there, I'm just wondering when this will be pushed in the official updates?
Thanks dac992 for fixing this, appreciate it.

I just noticed that there is already a debian package since november.
  http://packages.debian.org/sid/libmapi0

Don't know why the ubuntu guys don't fix it in their repository.

[luiscachog (k4ch0)]

I also tried @dac922 new library and can confirm it worked for me. Thanks!

[Andrea Frati (andrea-frati)]

Thank you, now it work for me too.

I'll add my voice to the throng: I can confirm that dac922's solution in comment #13 works for me, too.

[Oliver Marks (oly)]

Still seems to be an issue, why is this bug not getting fixed i wonder ? especially when there is a known fix.
