Details

Description:
When creating a new Evolution exchange connector account, the initial authentication succeeds and the account is created. When Evolution then attempts to get mail from Exchange through OWA, wireshark shows IMAP traffic from Evolution to Exchange rather than the expected HTTP/HTTPS traffic. The IMAP connection fails due to local firewalls.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
Evolution, Evolution-exchange 3.4.1

* config and/or log files etc.

Steps to reproduce:
Create a new account that specifies server type "Microsoft Exchange".
Proceed through account creation until the final panel (Congratulation, your mail configuration is complete ...)
Click "apply".
Evolution will promt for the Exchange password, then attempt to authenticate using IMAP rather than HTTTP/HTTPS.

This task depends upon
