Evolution Error While Scanning Folders

Re: [Evolution] Error while Scanning folders in "Exchange server red001.mail.microsoftonline.com" Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2011 09:36:17 +0100 I haven't been able to make it work. Copying from the account editor: Identity Name: Michael Hennebry ndsu edu Full Name: MJH Email Address: Michael Hennebry ndsu edu Receiving Email Server Type: Exchange Web Services Username: Michael.Hennebry As I said a few hours ago - the "Username" needs to be the email address that delivers mail directly to the exchange server - it must not be an alias (like your @ndsu.edu address is). When you click on "Fetch URL" it should populate both the Host URL an OAB URL fields https://bugs.debian.org/645224 with the correct values. If it doesn't, then your username or password is wrong. Debugging with GUIs does bad things to my brain. I have trouble remembering what I've done before, so I do a lot of wheel-spinning. Sometimes it leaves ruts. There is Email address under Identity and Username under Receiving Email. Are these supposed to be the same? The identity is just a label used by https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2011-June/msg00236.html Evo and along with things like Full name: and Email address: are not used when connecting to the server and downloading email. Looking at various instructions for setting up mail I suspect that the correct thing to use in your case are the following Username: Michael Hennebry ndsu edu Host Url: https://red001.mail.microsoftonline.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx If you then click on "Fetch Url" it should ask for your password and then populate the OAB Url: box. If it does, then it should all work. I have noticed that occasionally during this setup process it can loose the username setting - so if you still can't download email, go back in to the configuration and check that the username is still there, if not, put it in again and retry. However, do you know if microsoftonline.com supports EWS? Can you connect to it using Outlook on Windows? Or do you have to always use the OWA client? Outlook is the recommended client. Yes, but looking at microsoftonline it doesn't actually use normal methods of configuring Outlook (you need to install a separate client to do the authentication for you). P.

Server Type: IMAP Server: secure.runbox.com Use Secure Connection: TLS encryption Authentication Type: Password Have I set anything wrong? The error that pops up is: "Error while Scanning folders in "IMAP server secure.runbox.com". Server unexpectedly disconnected: Unknown error" I asked a friend, and the only idea we had is that the server has schizophrenia :P Last edited by dreamsorcerer : 26 Jan 2008 at 03:19 AM. dreamsorcerer View Public Profile Find More Posts by dreamsorcerer 26 Jan 2008, 04:25 AM #2 che Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Posts: 55 The current (broken) and the beta (also broken) IMAP server do not support TLS! You have to use SSL on port 993!

This is before it even gets to ask for the pass
