Ubuntu :: Evolution (apparently) Timing Out With Exchange Server?
Oct 6, 2010
I'm experiencing an occasional frustration using Evolution with my work email which is on an MS Exchange 2003 server.Everything usually works well enough, but from time to time I'll try to retrieve a message,Is there a setting I've missed in Evolution that might take care of this, or some other workaround?Let me re-emphasize that the server is a 2003 Exchange server (and a source of endless frustration for a non-windows user). It's not a 2007 or 2010 Exchange server, which is what most companies use these days.
i want to configure my MS Exchange server email in Evolution of Fedora. as, Ubuntu 10.10 gives the dropdown for MS exchange server, however in fedora 14 the same is not available.
I cannot receive mail from my POP server; I used the same settings as I previously did with Thunderbird but I keep recieving an error message "La lecture de salutations valides du serveur POP pop.videotron.ca a �chou�" (roughly: exchange with the POP server failed).I am able to connect to the Internet and to other mail accounts with Evolution.
Evolution won't connect to our Exchange Server 2003. I have the Evolution-Exchange plugin installed and the Evolution vsn is 2.28.3. The Ubuntu vsn is 10.04 lucid. In the setup of the mail account I enter the user name in the form domainusername; in the OWA URL I enter the URL in the form - URL... and then I click the authenticate button (can't progress without authenticating). When requested I enter the password. Then comes the error message - could not connect to the server. Make sure the url is correct and try again.
I can connect to OWA using a browser. However I have to negotiate past the browser warning me that the server has a self generated certificate and not from a trusted authority. Maybe this is the problem, I don't know. The fact that I can get to OWA by means of a browser means that the firewall in our router is configured correctly, as is port forwarding to the server.The domain/exchange server is in our office and I have administrator rights.
I am working happily with Fedora 8, evolution chatting happily to exchange 2003, calendar sync the works...impressed. This continued through Fedora 9 (though a little bumpy as all odd numbered Fedora releases are). On to Fedora 10, yes works a treat out of the box (DVD). A couple of updates to evolution later, through yumex (fedora updates), and evolution has stopped sending email to the exchange server. It's also touch and go whether I can read email using OWA.
On pressing 'Send/Receive' evolution pops the error, Error while performing operation. Exchange transport can only be used with Exchange mail source. How could I back out these evolution updates?
I had decided to give Ubuntu a go on my work notebook. At work we use Exchange 2003 (at the moment) for email. I had open Evolution and tried to configure it. I got the welcome screen (wizzard), I clicked Forward and then I skipped Restore from backup (since this is a new install) and clicked Forward. It asked for identity and I gave the details (as shown in the first screenshot) then hit Forward and made the necesary settings as shown in the second screenshot. Then I click Authenticate and it asks for my exchange password. i type it and then it gives me the error "Could not locate server.". I am sure the server name is correct and I am sure it resolves correctly (tried it with firefox and works just fine). I also tried username as follows:
I am trying to set up my school e-mail in evolution. They use exchange 2007. When I set it up on my iPod touch, it wouldn't work unless I put in my exchange domain. Where would I put that in evolution?
I 've got an hotmail (live-mail) account, that I'm using on my iPod with Microsoft Exchange. This is really working fine, so I was very happy when I read, that you can use this feature with Evolution Mail.
Now my Problem is, that the Settings I use on my iPod won't work with Evolution.
I think the Problem is the OWA URL cause whatever I do it can't connect to this Server.
I'll give you the Settings, that work on my iPod:
E-Mail: xxx@hotmail.de Server: m.hotmail.com User-Name: xxx@hotmail.de Password: xxx SSL: ON
Does anybody know the OWA URL of the Hotmail-Server or does every Account have one of it's own?
I've got an Ubuntu 10.04 system running Evolution, and I'm trying to integrate it with a slightly older Exchange server. I got the basics all working, email, calendaring, etc. The trouble I'm having is that it crashes pretty frequently, and even using the DavMail tool doesn't help. DavMail just ends up crashing instead!
It seems to me that there is some piece of integration that is broken, or just not set up right. Has anyone seen this? Where it "works", but is very unstable? We've got a few people at my office with this issue on a couple different distros.
I seem to have a problem that a lot of people have: My work uses exchange server 5.5/2007. Does evolution still not support this? I tried to set it up and it tells me that it won't work with exchange 5.5.
I have just setup evolution to pull in my exchange emails using MAPI. All seems to be well, except that it isn't pulling down my calendar or tasks. I understood that it was supposed to automatically do this, is this correct?We are using exchange 2005 I believe, so wonder if this is specifically the issue.
Is there an evolution exchange mapi (rpm) that is available for CentOS 5? I have a client that has an Exchange Server 2010 server,but wants to use a Linux Centos laptop. I was able to see this MAPI in on another Linux distro.
i have configure exchange server 2010 in evolution Ubuntu 11.04 64 Bit during configuration no Error message, and also i got message "authentication finished successfully" after completed no folder in my account please find my screen short same step i flowed in fedora its working fine all the folder i can able to view
I use Ubuntu with Evolution here at work, and we have an Exchange server. can I somehow suck up all of the addresses in the global address list and somehow save them locally and import them to Evolution? Since I can't "link" to the global list it would at least be handy for me to utilize locally.
I have a little problem with Evolution and Exchange 2007. I have managed to connect to the Exchange server without problem using MAPI and I can access my emails fine.
The only problem I have is that although I have checked all the options to download messages and automatically synchronise account locally it won't store the email contents locally until I first look open it (or at least preview it).
Unfortunately I have over 5000 emails so this presents a little problem.
I don't know if this is a bug or just how evolution works.
Running it from a terminal, every few minutes this happens:(evolution:25607): libsoup-CRITICAL **: set_ current_request: assertion `priv->cur_req == NULL' failed Segmentation fault..Found lots of cases that mention Gentoo (and Evolution 2.4) and this bug, but nothing with Debian. Bug is apparently due to the version of libsoup that Evolution is compiled against.Install is relatively fresh; about a day old. Packages are the latest updates.
I have F13 x86_64 with all updates. I tried to setup Evolution to access our corporate MS Exchange 2007 server, so I installed evolution-mapi-0.30.3-1.fc13.x86_64 , yum pulled in also dependecies samba4-libs-4.0.0-22.alpha11.fc13.x86_64 and openchange-0.9-2.fc13.x86_64.
Installation went OK, then I tried to setup the account in Evolution. I chose : server type: Exchange MAPI server: mailserver.corporatedomain.com username: my.username Domain name: corporatedomain.com
Of course, the names of server, domain and my username are different in reality, however, I entered them in the same format as written here. The communication with mailserver is on corporate internal LAN - no routers or firewalls between. When I click "Autheticate" it prompts me for password, I put in the correct password but I get the error: Authentication failed. MapiLogonProvider:MAPI_E_LOGON_FAILED
I tried to put in the IP address of the mailserver instead of its network name, tried to put in the IP of the domain controller, enter the domain name in uppercase, all sorts of combinations but nothing works.
is there a way to get authenitcated??? I googled far and wide, but did not find the cause for Here is the output from evolution when started in gnome-terminal:
(evolution:1606): e-data-server-DEBUG: Loading categories from "/home/user/.evolution/categories.xml" (evolution:1606): e-data-server-DEBUG: Loaded 31 categories ** (evolution:1606): DEBUG: Loading Exchange MAPI Plugin ** (evolution:1606): DEBUG: MAPI listener is constructed with 0 listed MAPI accounts e-data-server-ui-Message: Unable to find password(s) in keyring (Keyring reports: No matching results) e-data-server-ui-Message: Key file does not have group 'Passwords-ExchangeMAPI'
I am trying to configure evolution to work with MS Exchange but cannot get it to work. I also have an android phone which is dead easy to configure, but I've tried so may settings but cannot get evolution to connect. Anyone also having had this problem and finally solved it? I also tried DavMail with no luck.
I have a user that is reporting the following error on a bounced message:
Quote:
smtp;554 5.6.1 Body type not supported by Remote Host
He is forwarding emails from his exchange server to a recipient in Germany relaying through our smtp server using Surgemail as the MTA.
He called a senior tech specialist at Microsoft to get help thinking the problem was on his end (exchange server). According to this "specialist", he said the problem was that our smtp server was not advertising 8BitMIME in its 250 statement. I tested this myself by log in on to the smtp server and doing typing the following:
As you can see, 250-8BITMIME is not listed here. From the bit of research I made, I found that most MTAs send this by default. Is it possible that the characters from the German language are causing this problem?
NOTE: This problem did not exist or was never reported until now. No one has made any changes on any settings on the server.
I am anticipating that someone could give more further information about that, not only simple explanations. How to understand User Time, sys time, wait time, idle time of CPU
I need to write a script that executes a wget. The difficulty being, if wget just sits there with no reply for a very long time, I don't want the script to run that long.
How can I time out the wget command in the script if it doesn't give me a reply in a minute or so?
Had to do a fresh install of 10.04 as upgrade went pear shaped. Now I cannot get hunderbird 3.0.4 to work just keeps timing out trying to access mail server pop.1and1.co.uk.Had to change some Firefox options to get it to work with any site other than google.Noticed that ping pop.1and1.co.uk sometimes gave a bad address until I disabled IPv6.
i need to configure postfix on centos to relay email from the internet to the Exchange Server and i also need that emails sent from the exchange within the same domain be sent to postfix then resent to exchange because i have spamassassin and clamav installed on centos to filter all incoming and outgoing mails ...
I recently had the need to relay SMTP mail through our organizations hosted MS Exchange server. I had to do a little troubleshooting, so I wrote a concise summary of the procedure I followed.
