|
|
| I can't get evolution to connect to the exchange server at work. I have emerged the evolution-exchange. What else do I need to do? When I bring up evolution and try to create the account, I switch the server type to exchange and all it asks for is my username and won't allow me to go to "Next" even after I've put that information in. |

Hi,
You should have to give your username AND the address to the Outlook Web Access (OWA) server (https://webmail.company.com/exchange/)
After that you must click the button "Authenticate" before you can go to the next step.
If that doesn't work, then I'm lost.
BTW, you must have emerged:
evolution
evolution-data-server
evolution-exchange
But if you emerged evolution-exchange, then you should have gotten the rest, by dependencies. |

I am getting the same problem...
If you type in your username under the exchange tab, then select a different server type, then select the exchange type again, your username will be there and allow you to go forward, but this is moot because nothing works past this point.
Anyone have this working? |

I just got it working... here is how:
1. make sure you have use flags ldab and kerberos
2. emerge evolution-data-server
3. emerge evolution-exchange
4. emerge evolution
It worked as stated above by snis |

| Pretty much... the other packages have to be emerged with the required use flags before. |

| I also had the same problem as above so after updating my use flags and re-emerging I found that i had to go into edit->plugins and enable Exchange Operations. |

Cool, I re-emerged everything and now it seems to work, except that I can't send mail, I can only recieve it.
Any ideas? |

| rdmenotte actually meant ldap instead of ldab, in case anyone didn't catch that. |
