Do you have a GitHub account?

I can raise this as a bug and we'll continue over there rather than trashing
this bug report with irrelevant comments.

Tried it, would have been to simple :)

I removed/recreated the kmail config and also tried the following
https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/kdepim/kmail/clean-start-after-a-failed-migration.html
Also tried streaming notifications vs pool every x.y mins.
Still no folders and no luck sadly.

Starting kmail from a console gets the following output:
$ kmail

Can you try to click "Check Mail" in KMail? This should force a full sync and
should populate your folder tree.

Agreed.  Perhaps adding a "(optionnal)" tool-tip message?

Same is true, a tooltip or auto-complete with what you username maybe based on
your email would be nice.

Under evolution I manually entered my "autodiscover" URL then hit get URL and
it fills up the URL OAB field automatically.

In this case I manually entered the EWS URL and hit Try connect.. Which i found
simpler to evolution as the user don't really care about the underlying UUID
type OAB URL.  Although a connection successful may be appropriate?  It ended
up not adding any folder within kmail for the new account (maybie a bug related
to kmail and totally unrelated to your new feature, will further investigate?).
 Although from the subscription tab I can select my various folders and as
well, it says "ready" under it in the reception tab.

It's sad that it blocks over tiny details as I'd rather provide you with
comments on the real stuff :)

I'll reinitiate my kmail config as it may have older configs stuck? and give it
another try.

I agree that some sites do not require it, but nevertheless I think that hiding
it behind some checkbox would be more confusing.

Similar as above.

Server autodiscovery relies on resolving an address based on your e-mail
domain. Sometimes this won't as the autodiscovery service is not available
(this is the case with my corporate account). In such case you can uncheck the
"Server Autodiscovery" checkbox and enter the EWS URL manually. It should be
something like: https://yourdomain.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx

--- Comment #51 from Vincent Fortier  ---
I gave it a try.  I had not played with KDE since around a year so I had to
play a little with my installation in order to get things working as is seems
there is a bug blocking plasma to startup properly with 16.04.

For other who might be interested (not entirely related to this thread...):
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:kubuntu-ppa/staging-misc
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install plasma-desktop kde-l10n-fr

Then getting your package installed:
wget
https://github.com/KrissN/akonadi-ews/releases/download/v0.8.0/akonadi-ews_0.8.0-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i akonadi-ews_0.8.0-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install -f 

Then finally kontact ready:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install kontact kleopatra

Once all set I was able to login into KDE/plasma and launch kontact and get
things going.

Now, the real thing!  A few comments:
- The domain box should be optional and thus perhaps a click on/off be
appropriate
- I think same should be true for the username: in my case there are no
username except my email user... again, by default it may be more appropriate
to auto-fill that box with the name section of the email address with a on/off
to edit manually?
- server auto-discovery failed to work... In my case I use an internal
auto-discovery URL that I have to specify manually.  My understanding of the
interface is that it tries to auto-discover "online" but I cannot assign an
auto-discovery URL manually?

End-result: sadly as-is I wasn't able to get access to my inbox through EWS.

Lastly, hopefully at some point full support for calendar along with contacts &
task will be made available!

Thnx for finally trying to close this gap within the KDE suite, it is really
much appreciated and I look forward at trying later versions!

Almost 6 months ago I have started the effort to bring native Exchange support
to Akonadi using the Exchange Web Services (EWS) protocol, which has become the
primary standard used to communicate with Exchange (Microsoft Outlook uses it
by default).

Today I have published an initial release with full e-mail support and partial
support for other items.

If you're interested in doing some testing please check the project website on
GitHub:
