The identity is just a label used by Evo and along with things like Full name: and Email address: are not used when connecting to the server and downloading email. Looking at various instructions for setting up mail I suspect that the correct thing to use in your case are the following Username: [email protected] Host Url: https://red001.mail.microsoftonline.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx If you then click on "Fetch Url" it should ask for your password and then populate the OAB Url: box. If it does, then it should all work. I have noticed that occasionally during this setup process it can loose the username setting - so if you still can't download email, go back in to the configuration and check that the username is still there, if not, put it in again and retry. > > > > However, do you know if microsoftonline.com supports EWS?
