Evolution: can't configure new password against OWA

[dlstyley]

Are you getting any errors showing up in the debug output? Basically, responses from the HTTP server that aren't in the 2xx range.

Thanks; I ought to confess that my problem has to do with Evolution not remembering passwords for Google diaries - related perhaps, but not the same. I googled the error message, and when I saw your post I was interested to see what you'd done. Your reply really was helpful, and useful: I learnt about gconf and E2K_DEBUG, so once again, thanks.

The Google calendar problem is a known bug, and I guess I can live with it.

MUCH easier way.

Edit -> Preferences

Select your exchange account, and hit the edit button on the side.

Change to the Receiving Email tab, and remove your "Mailbox" entry. (Just delete it completely).

Click the Authenticate button, and type in your password when requested. It will refill in your "Mailbox" entry.

Restart Evolution.

Just do the above. It will auto fix the config file to have only one mailbox.

This solution will not work for me as I have not configured my account before. Is there a file where I can go and manually configure this? Could someone give it to me, or give me the string values I should put into gconf-editor?
Thanks!
