Unable to connect evolution mailer to exchange server 2007 via MAPI is a ongoing problem. Previously, evolution always crashed at authentication when creating a exchange-MAPI account. Yesterday, after some update on evolution and its plugins, I tried and found it moved a bit further. It did not crashed at the authentication when creating a MAPI account, but always failed in authentication. The User, PAsswd and server name are right, because I use the same set of parameters as in MS outlook. here is some info, hope someone point out a fix: 1. evolution log info ** (evolution:15013): DEBUG: mailto URL command: evolution --component=mail %s ** (evolution:15013): DEBUG: mailto URL program: evolution public.pyzor.org:24441 TimeoutError: ** (evolution:15013): DEBUG: Loading Exchange MAPI Plugin ** (evolution:15013): DEBUG: MAPI listener is constructed with 0 listed MAPI accounts nextserver: Bootstrap discovery failed.
