[Evolution] Bug#378916: Cannot complete initial account dialogue setup.

Package: evolution-exchange
Version: 2.6.2-3

I just downloaded this package to connect to my company's Exchange mail 
server.  However, I cannot complete the initial dialogue sequence to setup 
my e-mail account.

I type in my corporate e-mail address, go to the next screen, select 
"Microsoft Exchange", type in the correct username and OWA URL, 
successfully lick on "Authenticate", but then I cannot move onto 
another page; the "Foreward" button stays grayed out.

I have successfully logged in and use the OWA URL before.

I believe it successfully "Authenticate"s me, since it creates the file 
'~/.gnome2_private/Evolution' which contains:

[Passwords-Exchange]
exchange:__willo@(null)_=M**********=

(where the '*' were the actual UUencoded version of my password.)

I'm somewhat concerned with the "(null)" in this file, but perhaps that 
is normal..

Anyway, I'm at a loss for what my problem could be, seeing how I had no 
Evolution packages on my system before trying this, and the only GNOME-ish 
packages I've installed are 'gdm' and 'gaim'.  I feel this is a bug of some 
type.

Another oddity is that there are no other options in the dialogue window, 
when webpages I've seen refer to a setting to specify the type of 
encryption to use for passwords, and if it should cache my password.
