I have this on Jaunty and Evolution 2.26.1 with Exchange 2007 (no IMAP support). However, I had it working last week. I've had a couple of daily upgrades to my desktop since then, and the connection seems to have stopped working yesterday. Now I keep getting requests for password while trying to connect, and "Exchange is offline, cannot display folders" while trying to edit the account." I get repeated footer errors "Error while Scanning folders in "Exchange server <servername>."

I tried deleting and recreating the account, and got the error "The server is running Exchange 5.5. Exchange Connector supports Microsoft Exchange 2000 and 2003 only." I know the Exchange servers were upgraded to 2007 about a month ago, but again, the connection was working two days ago. I can try to find out if IT did anything different with the Exchange servers this week, but they're not too keen to support linux desktops here, so I don't know if they'll tell me anything.

Ironically, the reason I went to Jaunty was specifically for the Exchange 2007 support in Evolution 2.26.1. The outlook web access is pretty awful if you're not using IE.
