Hi,
it looks like the settings are not complete, even you found some
.source file which looks like being complete.

I suggest a simple test:
a) open evolution and delete the existing EWS account
b) File->New->Mail Account (eventually Edit->Preferences->Mail
   Accounts->Add)
c) write the name and email address there, you can skip
   the settings lookup and click Next
d) then pick "Exchange Web Services" server type and correct
   the "Host URL" value
e) click the "Fetch URL" button
f) then just click Next until you get to the last page and there
   click Finish (not in any earlier page).

I do not think you did anything differently in a)-d) before, but the e)
and f) could make a difference, especially when entering certain page
fills values to other pages. The step e) also makes difference, there
used to be a bug in some older versions where skipping it caused
incomplete configuration. Whether the bug is in your ancient version I
do not recall, I'm sorry.

In case it won't help, try changing the authentication method. NTLM
usually works, but there can be servers which require Basic
authentication instead.

Finally, run evolution from a terminal with EWS debugging on:

   $ EWS_DEBUG=2 evolution

which will show what evolution sends to the server and what it
receives. Maybe it'll show the issue.
Bye,
Milan

[Evolution] Problem retrieving Exchange mail with Evolution-ews

[Ivory, William]

Hi,

I'm having problems getting Evolution (v3.12.9) with Evolution-ews working in 
Debian 8.  Colleagues have apparently identical settings and can access mail 
fine, but it's just not working for me.  I see the email account showing up in 
the LH pane, but no list of folders underneath (and no triangle to expand the 
list either).

I've been through the 'reboot evolution to get it to show the new Exchange 
account' hack, and I've also looked in the .config/evolution/sources directory 
for 'Email=' and this is seemingly set correctly.  The only 'clue' I have is 
that if I try to send an email from the account, I get the following error:


-  The reported error was 'Exchange server cannot send message as '', when the account was configured for address 'NULL'

Can anyone shed any light on this?  I have another email account (IMAP) set up 
and working fine.

Thanks,

William
