Robin,

It's been too long and I can't remember all of the details.  I seem to 
remember the your "password" issue among others, such as, mail not being 
seen by evolution when it was there thru the OWA.  We also had problems 
with evolution crashing when switching between mail and calendars.  All 
of these problems were logged into the novell/gnome bugzilla for 
evolution, but never seemed to be resolved.

I am a government  contractor and fortunately there is a large installed 
base of UNIX and Mac machines that don't do exchange natively.  Those 
pushed IMAPS, POP.  and LDAP (address book).  Other than calendaring, it 
works pretty well, sometimes better than my colleagues' Outlook 
clients.  I hear a lot of "mouse rattling" and grumbling at the start of 
each day while they wait for their initial connections to the exchange 
server.  Like right now :-)

In any respect, evolution had some nice features, but for me, they were 
out weighted by the bugs.
