I'm running Edgy and the same error occurs if I try to connect to my exchange account. Connection via Browser (https) works fine.

Can you try to get a log running
   E2K_DEBUG=2 evolution
with the Edgy version and attach it here?

I run the commands as mentioned here. During setup I tried to get access with my user three times.

The first time there was an error message coming up. The second time no message appears, but forward button was also not available. The third time was like the first one - after that I ended the session.

As I interpret the log, the connection worked on the second try, but evolution does not provide me a possibility to go on in the setup process.

From https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/evolution-exchange/+bug/25106 I see that evlution version is 2.2.
2.2 is pretty old. Please use the later versions (2.6.x or 2.8.x)

According to https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/evolution-exchange/+bug/25106/comments/16 it's still a problem in Edgy (GNOME 2.16)

Daniel: He seems to be saying it is working for him, after clearning the cache.  Also, according to the E2K_DEBUG log, he seems to be getting "401 - unauthorized" error.  Any chance that his username and mailbox are different?

Daniel:  Any updates? ^^^

"Yes, usernames and mailbox names are not identical. This is caused by the integration of exchange in the ad infrastructure."


Although I'm not sure what that means.
