Description:
Since an upgrade on the 3.8.3 series of evolution, evolution-ews and evolution-data-server the support for Exchange seems to be broken. Evolutions alwasy requests the password for the Exchange-Account and reports, that the entered password is wrong. I've downgraded all three packages and everything works again.


Additional info:
* package version(s): evolution-3.8.3, evolution-data-server-3.8.3, evolution-ews-3.8.3
* config and/or log files etc.: the server is Microsoft-Exchange 2010, I think at least SP2


Steps to reproduce:
1. Upgrade to latest versions from official repositories
2. Restart GNOME or at least all componentes of Evolution
3. Enter your correct password, as requests by the upcoming dialog from evolution
This task depends upon

I discoverd the cause or a solution.

I'm sitting behind the proxy of my company, configured in network-manager. Our MS-Exchange-Server is reachable from inside and outside of the network.
I figured out that a newly created user on my computer can access the server with evolution "3.8.3" and evolution-ews "3.8.3". This was possible because I didn't set up the proxy-configuration in network-manager for the new user.

Final solution:
1. I deleted all configuration files of evolution
rm -rf ~/.local/share/evolution
rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/evolution
rm -rf ~/.cache/evolution
dconf reset -f /org/gnome/evolution/
2. Remove proxy-settings from network-manager
3. Set up account in evolution
4. Inside Evolution: Edit->Preference->Network: Select Direct Connection
5. Add proxy-setting in network-manager

Maybe caused by our network. Maybe caused by evolution-ews.I don't know.
