Description of problem: Evolution silently fails to send email through an Exchange server. By all appearances it sends, but no recipient receives an email. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ rpm -qa | grep evolution evolution-exchange-3.4.1-1.fc17.x86_64 evolution-data-server-3.4.2-1.fc17.x86_64 evolution-NetworkManager-3.4.2-1.fc17.x86_64 evolution-3.4.2-1.fc17.x86_64 MS Exchange 2003 How reproducible: 100%, sadly. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure Evolution to an Exchange 2003 server 2. Compose email 3. Click send Actual results: Email appears sent successfully (email composition window closes, mail appears in Sent Items folder). If Evolution is started thusly: $ E2K_DEBUG=5 evolution The following messages appear when the email is sent: (evolution:26229): camel-exchange-provider-CRITICAL **: camel_exchange_utils_send_message: assertion `ed != NULL' failed (evolution:26229): camel-WARNING **: CamelExchangeTransport::send_to_sync() reported failure without setting its GError Expected results: The email actually gets sent. Additional info: Given the silent nature of the failure, I recommend it get considered for higher severity. Took me a week before I discovered that *none* of the emails that I sent actually were delivered. Receiving emails works fine. Confirmed there is no problem sending email from this account using a real Outlook client. No problems with this with the version of Evolution that came with F14.
