Not in my case. I can't get the "OK" button to come back.

It's worse than that. The connector insists that it thinks it knows
what the mailbox "should be" based on erroneous information and won't
let you change it, even if you know the correct values and it doesn't,
in some cases. In my case, somewhere deep in the bowels of Exchange, I
"own" a global mailing distribution list named "pgpkeys". My mailbox is
"mhw" (which I access using POP and fetchmail because this thing is
broken, so I KNOW exactly what it really is). When I try and set up my
OWA Url using the setup application, I end up with a URL under
preferences of http://server/exchange/pgpkeys instead of
https://server/exchange/mhw (and the damn http vs https is another
aspect to the whole problem). I can't get it to accept the correct
values. If I change anything on the damn OWA URL line the OK button
grays out and won't come back, no matter what I do.

Basically, anything that doesn't seem to fit the connectors simplistic
view of how Exchange "should be" set up seems to be broken. There's no
override to tell it to "do as I tell you to do".

Suggestions on how to force feed the correct information to the
connector or how to hand edit the configurations would be greatly
appreciated.
