I am trying to setup an online account that connects to my companies office365 but i'm getting the error: "Cannot fins WebDAV endpoint". I can normally connect and login to the account via browser. Do i need to install an additional connector to do this?
My Ubuntu version is 13.04 (Kyrin), 'Evolution' and 'Exchange support for the Evolution groupware suite' are installed. But there wasn't an option for exchange mapi available when I tried to sets my exchange account in 'Evolution'. --- What I mean there is no such selection in the drop-down list!
The sever is 'MS Exchange 2010'. 'OWA' in Ubuntu and 'OUTLOOK 2013/2010' in WINDOWS for this account works correct.
Is there anyone encountered this problem? I have no idea to deal this...
My evolution information as below:
ii evolution 3.6.4-0ubuntu1 amd64 groupware suite with mail client and organizer

I just tried to set up evolution with the MAPI plugin to connect to my Exchange Server 2007, as is described in this link -> https://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/370590-connect-evolution-to-an-exchange-server.
this is did not perform very well, it kept freezing and could not send a message, although it did retrieve a lot of info from the server, it just wasn't doing the job.
I am going to try Thunderbird now, with SMPT. Maybe it will work.
What have you all had the best luck with, as far as an email client for Microsoft exchange server 2007?
Thanks a lot!!
** UPDATE **
So I set up Thunderbird. The setup wizard automatically detected my server settings and this worked well for retrieving the information from the server (like inbox and custom folders). The sending didn't work by at first. There was a problem with the SMTP authentication. I tried each authentication method until I was successful sending a message. The one that worked was NTLM.
Thanks for the good tips for this problem!
** UPDATE **
It has been a few days using Thunderbird. It seemed like it was working at first, but now I see that it is not performing very well. Every time the program runs, it hangs on "bringing inbox up to date". Also when you first open the program, it seems to retrieve the new email messages correctly, but after the program is opened, it hangs and will not get new messages that have been sent since opening the program... back to the drawing board.
I see other questions about this, no answers and no one with a completely similar question.
I work for a place with an Exchange 2007 server. There is an http://owa.ourserver.com that is accessible from anywhere. I've tried every combo I can think of for Evolution -> Microsoft Exchange, including the MAPI plugin, but then I read that, that doesn't work on OWA Exchange email servers and I can't get it to connect at all that way.
If there is no way to connect via Evolution, is there another mail client? I tried Thunderbird, but I couldn't get it to work with Exchange either...
I have been trying for a while to get Evolution to connect to my Exchange account. I think the complication is the that the OWA url is https://owa[...]. I am able to connect with Android phones, iPhones, etc., but I can't do it with Evolution.
Is there a way to make this work?
