Public bug reported: Binary package hint: evolution
I have found it necessary to run exchange / outlook web access (OWA) on port 81 so that port 80 may be redirected to a web server. There may also be instances where connections to multiple exchange servers are required through the same IP address. This will require port re-mapping for OWA/Exchange. Outlook and OWA web services are usable when assigned to port 81, and presumably other random port numbers. Evolution does not appear to function when pointed to OWA on ports other than 80. Steps to reproduce bug: 1) Determine evolution works correctly with default setup; Configure Exchange to listen to port 80. Create account on Evolution, pointing to outlook web access url. Verify Evolution connects to OWA services. 2) Verify bug: Delete previously created account from Evolution. Set exchange server to listen to port 81. Create account on Evolution, pointing to outlook web access url eg http://myexchangeserver.com:81/exchange Click verify, enter password. Verification appears to complete OK. When Evolution attempts to connect to exchange server, a dialog box appears saying "Error while Scanning folders in "/servver/var/spool/mail/nick/". Could not scan folder `/servver/var/spool/mail/nick': No such file or directory" 3) Verify exchange is working properly. by a) Pointing a web browser to the port 81 URL, check web access functions. Point outlook to exchange URL. Verify outlook functions. It appears the backend to evolution connecting to exchange is hard-wired to connect to port 80. The back end should connect to whatever port is specified in the OWA URL. ** Affects: evolution (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- evolution outlook web access only works on port 80 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/128934 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
