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,
