Hello Nathan I understand that it fails for with 3.30.5-1.1 but you were able to make that same account work in another system. Which version is evolution on the working one? It may be possible to manually copy the .config files from the working system to the other one, but it would be even better to fix whatever underlying problem is. It is nice to see that evolution is supported by IT. They provide a tutorial to do so, complete with Tenant and Application ID values. They instruct to create the account from evolution. I wonder if the reason the login window doesn't appear may be a package not installed on the failing machine. Do you see any relevant message in a console when you open evolution from one to perform the configuration? [Rather than opening from the UI (Step 3), opening it from a console, as in Step 1] It is possible to make evolution provide more messages via environment variables, see https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution/Debugging Although I'm not sure what to look for there, exactly.
