Hello,

Hmmm yes this bug might be a duplicate of bug number 366841.

However I looked at the solution given in bug number 366841, and I tried to
do this:

   - startup Evolution, the Evolution Setup Assistant
   - in the Identity screen, in Required Information, I type in my Full
   Name and Email Address, I click Forward
   - in the Receiving Email screen, in Server Type, instead of selecting
   Microsoft Exchange, I select None, I click Forward
   - in the Sending Email screen, I select Server Type: SMTP and in the
   Server Configuration field, I type something stupid: toto at maison.com,
   I click Forward
   - in the Account Management screen, in Account Information, in the
   Name field, I type in my Email Address, I click Forward
   - in the Timezone screen, I select my timezone, I click Forward
   - in the Done screen, I click Apply

Now Evolution is configured (with a bogus SMTP server, but we don't care
about that).

   - I select Edit > Plugins and I check "Exchange Operations"
   - I leave Evolution (File > Quit)

I type: pkill evolution to get rid of any "leftover" processes (especially
evolution exchange connectors)

I restart Evolution and then:

   - I select Edit > Preferences
   - In Mail Accounts I can see my account
   - I click Edit
   - In the Receiving Email tab, in Server Type, I select Microsoft
   Exchange
   - ... and the only field that appears is Username !

Note: at the very moment I select Microsoft Exchange in Server Type I can
see the following output from evolution:
(evolution:18948): camel-CRITICAL **: camel_service_get_path: assertion
`service->url' failed

Cheers,
