Description of Problem: If I create an Exchange 2003 login/mailbox of Randy Zajonckoski I get the error "No mailbox for user Randy Zajonczkoski on 192.168.1.1". But, if I create account named Randy_Zajonczkoski then it works fine. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Use an Exchange 2003 username and mailbox name of "Randy Zajonczkoski" Actual Results: "No mailbox for user Randy Zajonczkoski on 192.168.1.1" Expected Results: Expect it to login properly and display the mailbox. How often does this happen? Everytime Additional Information:
Certain interesting observations: 1) Created an account on the exchange server as "first name" (Note the blank) 2) I could configure this account in Evolution (2.5.90) and could succesfully retieve all the folders. 3) Tried sending a mail. It failed with an error message: "You cant use this From Address" 4) Tried sending a mail from OWA and it worked. But, the space in the From address has been silently removed. I checked this in the destination mailbox and the sent-items of "first name" account. 5) The mail that was thus sent was visible in Evolution's sent-items for "first name" account. 6) Interestingly, I could NOT login at all to this account using Outllok. Tested using Exchange Server 2003 and Outlook 2003 P.S: The error message "You cant use this From Address" is because of the forbidden-access response from the Server. However, you can send mails using SMTP/Send-mail and write a filter to copy the message into the exchange's sent items. Or still easier, create a dummy a/c with only Sending-page configured and set the exchange's folders as the Sent-items folder and send using this account.
