Description chethan 2004-06-02 11:48:55 UTC
Description of Problem:
I am using evolution and exchange connector with the latest builds dated
02-june-2004.I am not able to access the contents of the exchange account
in calender/contacts/tasks view before giving the passwoed for exchange
account in exchange or mail view.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Select Action->Forget the password . Close evolution.
2. Bring up evolution in tasks/contacts/calender view.
3. Try to access exchange folders in these view.

Actual Results:
In tasks view error message will come "Error opening
exchange://chethan@164.99.155.182/personal/Tasks:
Unknown error"

In calender view you cant access exchange calender .

In contacts view error message will come "Error loading addressbook.

We were unable to open this addressbook.  This either means you have
entered an incorrect URI, or the server is unreachable."

Expected Results:
Here also it should ask for password and after that we should be able to
access the folder contens

How often does this happen? 
Everytime

I feel prompting for password in cal/contacts/tasks is an important
thing to be fixed. we can't expect the user to always go to mailer or
exchange view before invoking cal/task/contact components. increasing
the priority.

It appears as if it works as expected in the HEAD. Please confirm.
Comment 3 Praveen Kumar 2005-08-10 10:16:10 UTC
This bug is resolved and the fix is in the HEAD.
