As a side note (knowing full well that this isn't a support forum!), can anyone give me any hints on how to get Evolution working with an Exchange server on Kubuntu 8.04 beta?

I put in my username (with domain) and OWA URL like so:

FOO\First.Last
https://webmail.blah.com/exchange

then I click "Authenticate", enter my password, and I get an error dialog:

"Evolution Error: Could not configure Exchange account because an unknown error occurred. Check the URL, username, and password, and try again."

I know I typed the URL and my username and password correctly.

I'm running Gnome 2.22.1 (Kubuntu 8.04 beta, "out of the box", with all current updates applied). Where does Evolution put its log files? Maybe I can find something useful there...

Do RPC over HTTPS to connect to my exchange server via the web (OWA)?

No, it doesn't need to do any of that bollocks, you can just enter the https://blah.com/exchange URL and use it straight away without the need to turn on anything on the exchange server except DAV access (OWA).

In fact, this is the one reason I've been waiting for a Windows version of evolution. Nobody in our office of Microsoft specialists can get any version of Outlook to connect the exchange server here in our office via RPC over HTTPS.

They've all been drooling over Entourage 2k4 on my Powerbook and its seamless support through OWA. When EvilUtion is finally working properly on Windows they'll be able to install it at home or on their laptops and not have to connect with VPN to get proper rich client access to exchange at home.

As an Outlook replacement it's pretty sucky, but as an OWA replacement it shines.

Typical nerd argument that is technocratic that they completely ignore any form of common sense. Unfortuantely for you, life doesn't work work like your D&D game.
