In the Identity section,
Look up mail server details based on the entered e-mail addressshould be checked.
And then after it done searching, under Server Type: Exchange Web Services should be one of the choices. -
@irj It's an add-on to Evolution
-
@tonyknobel This is a new fedora vm and I didn't have to add it. So maybe in older versions it was an add-on maybe?
-
@jmoore Could be. Mine started as 27, and I upgraded it to 28.

Yeah it appears to be a separate install according to documentation:
Microsoft Exchange: Available only if you have installed the Connector for Microsoft* Exchange. It allows you to connect to a Microsoft Exchange 2000 or 2003 server, which stores e-mail, calendar, and contact information on the server. For configuration instructions, see Remote Configuration Options. -
On my Fedora box, I use Thunderbird and TbSync.
It works well.

Checking the Look up box here results in it selecting IMAP, but EWS is then available.

Once you click Fetch URL, it auto populate the OAB and then you can click the Check supported types in the Authentication.

Wow.. going to have to take some time to look at settings and stuff..
Do not like the expanded by default thread view.. I like thread view, just not expanded.. That is silly.
And the Defualt dark theme form Cinnamon makes this a little hard to read. IMO.

Here's what you get in Thunderbird wiht TbSync (O365:
Thunderbird:
Thunderbird footer: (click to open TbSync Account Manager)
TbSync Account Manager:
Bad color scheme is because of Cinnamon.

Dislike Thunderbird.

Looks better, but...
I like having tabs. If Evolution can do tabs, i'd use that instead.
Does that addon for Evolution also do contacts, calendars, and tasks?
