Same problem here. Was working in 8.10.
Unfortunately the MAPI backend is broken also (very slow, reliably crashed on my Inbox), so there is no Exchange functionality in Jaunty for me. Quite a regression.

I also get the error, "Could not configure Exchange account because
an unknown error occurred. Check the URL,
username, and password, and try again," on Jaunty with Evolution 2.26.1.

If I enter an incorrect username or password, I get: "Could not authenticate to server. Make sure the username and password are correct and try again."

As for the URL, if I use /owa/ then I don't need the domain as part of my username to reproduce the error. If I don't include /owa/ in the URL, I can still reproduce the error by setting the username to DOMAIN\username.

I can reproduce the error using HTTP and HTTPS for the URL, but if I try to access OWA via HTTP, I get the error, "The page must be viewed over a secure channel."

Any word lately on this one? My entire company is on Exchange, and I would hate to be forced to go back to that other OS.
