GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 258526
"Open Other User's Folder" option connects directly to Exchange 2000 mailbox server, not OWA
Last modified: 2005-03-15 08:58:44 UTC
Description of Problem: My Exchange 2000 environment consists of Front End servers hosting OWA via HTTPS, and Backend Mail Store servers, without OWA. When I try to view another user's folder, using File->Open Other User's Folder, I get an error "Generic Error". Packet sniffing the transaction, evolution seems to query the GC for the location of the "Other User's Folder", and then directly connect to the server containing the Mail Store, bypassing the Front End OWA servers. If I "fool" evolution by setting the FQDN of the Mail Store servers to the IP address of the OWA server, via my hosts file, everything works great. However, this is not a solution for other reasons. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. File -> "Open Other User's Folder" 2. Enter user's email address, choose Calendar 3. Failure Actual Results: "Generic Error" Expected Results: View other users calendar How often does this happen? Every time Additional Information: Functionality is definitely there, as hosts file trick above works. However, folder location logic may need to change, or at least have an option to perform ALL operations through OWA server. OS is Debian Sarge
