Hi All, I'm running kubuntu feisty with evolution 2.10.1. I'm trying to use the exchange plugin to connect to the MS 2003 Exchange Server at work. I have all the info about the implementation of Exchange from the IT folks, but I just can't make the plugin work. When I enter in my password, I get "Can not authenticate. (password incorrect?)" error. For the "Identity" - Username is my name (not surprising...) - Email address is my fully qualified email address. For the "Receiving email" - Server type is Microsoft exchange - Username is my domainname\username (Note: I've tried it without the domainname, still no joy). - OWA URL is the webmail URL (this has been confirmed by the IT folks) - Authenticate - I enter my password - seems to be ok. - Authentication Type - I've tried both secure and plaintext For "Receiving options" - Global Address List/Active directory settings - There's no entry I've looked at the Ubuntu launchpad website and there seems to be a few issues with the plugin. When evolution starts, it tries to search for mail folders, but finds nothing. I can't even terminate the process. I have to find out what pid number it is and terminate it with the 'kill <pid>' command. Has anyone managed to get this working? Is there some "magic" tweaking that I need to do? TIA, -Chuck

Chuck, I've gotten the Exchange connector (formerly, or maybe still, known as the Ximian Connector) working intermittently at a previous company, but it was really flaky (hangs, runaway processes, etc). When I tried to find solutions to the problems I was having, it seemed that it was no longer under active development. Here are a few things to try: -be sure your version of Exchange is compatible with the connector -stick to webmail -run Outlook through Crossover Office (http://www.codeweavers.com/) -check or beg for Exchange IMAP connectivity Good luck, BR

I forgot the solution that works the best...which is what I do now: -run Outlook on Windows inside a VMWare virtual machine
Like Brett I had some success with the Ximian Connector. Unfortunately IT turned off the exchange webmail that it uses. I've been meanning to try http://www.openchange.org/. Granted their plugin is not exactly production ready. Dennis Payne dulsi@identicalsoftware.com
