How does one make Evolution work with Exchange 2010?

How does one make Evolution work with Exchange 2010? Preferably natively (Exchange mode), so that my calendar, etc, all sync up properly. It was working fine under our old version of Exchange (2007?), but broke with the upgrade to Exchange 2010. Done the usual remove the account, re-add, etc. Prefer not to drop down to IMAP mode for mail only.

Yes, it should work.
You can install it by the following command:

sudo apt-get install evolution-ews

or less recommended way:

sudo apt-get install evolution-mapi

And then execute evolution."

As far as I know (and I am battling with the very same issue), this doesn't work. After configuring the connector, and entering the password, a message pops up saying that the server runs version 5.5 of MS Exchange and the connector is not compatible. You don't get any further errors, and you can download the list of folders, but you can't open any of them. This is the state of play as I experience with Evolution 2.22.

"When my Company mail server upgraded from Microsoft Windows Exchange Server 2003 to Microsoft Windows Exchange Server 2007 my Evolution mail client stopped receiving mail (in Ubuntu).

I got the network administrator to allow access to the server via IMAP. Evolution had no problem connecting via IMAP."

"you also need to add python-samba in Ubuntu 13.04

sudo apt-get install python-samba

Obviously, for those using debian based apt-get. Given that Kenorb's answer was accepted by Brian one is led to assume that apt is the package manager."

Note: In Account editor change the option Encryption Method ""Security"", select the option ""SSL on dedicated port""."
