At least from the calendar handling in korganizer I conclude, that they use a 
login name with password that i must provide  when creating the akonadi caldav 
resource ([email protected] + myPassword). 

Then I must provide the caldav server name which in case of davmail is 
http://localhost:1080/users/[email protected]/calendar (davmail 
exposes the caldav end of the gateway on port 1080, in my case it's running on 
the localhost)

In caldav I have to configure the owa-Host (or ews Host). In my office and in 
my 
android phone it is outlook.office365.com.

Yes I tried all different servernames I could find (from my android phone, from 
the redirection headers etc.). The strange thing is, that it is still working 
from the internet connetion of my office. 

At the office I am redirected to  
https://login.microsoftonline.com/login.srf?... where the login succeds.

But at home I am redirected to https://login.live.com/login.srf?..., where the 
login fails.

Yesterday night I read 2 hours through the mail-thread [SyncEvolution] Getting 
the concepts clear (Was: Configuring a  target) from april this year and I have 
understood some thing more behind the concepts of configuring syncevolution.

The problem as far as I can tell is that the activesyncd daemon gets the login 
credentials from only one place for all defined sources

export email="[email protected]"
gconftool --type string --set /apps/activesyncd/accounts/$email/serverUri \
            'https://pod51049.outlook.com/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync'
gconftool --type string --set /apps/activesyncd/accounts/$email/username \
            $email
(here I use the server name, which is used for Outlook Web Access (OWA) after 
I have been logged in)

If I replace in  the second command /apps/activesyncd/accounts/$email/username 
$email with

/apps/activesyncd/accounts/$email/username [email protected] 

and restart activesyncd I may get the calendar of my colleague with 
otherUsername. I will try that now. Of course I lwill loose the connection to 
my own calendar I think.
