Description John Anderson 2013-03-05 04:35:56 UTC
I get the error:

The reported error was "Exchange server cannot send message as 'johna', when the account was configured for address 'NULL'


I was able to send e-mail doing the following:

$ grep "^Email= *" .config/evolution/sources/*


Which will return you the configuration file of the account.  You then edit the Email=  line and add 'johna' into it and my mail would send.

Thanks for a bug report. How did you configure the ews account, please? Was it configured from scratch, or you made an update from older evolution/fedora to evolution 3.6.x/Fedora 18? I'm trying to figure out how this misconfiguration could happen, because this particular thing works fine for me.

Comment 2 John Anderson 2013-03-05 16:20:23 UTC
It was configured from scratch, it was the very first e-mail account I added to evolution.

Comment 3 Milan Crha 2013-03-06 18:09:41 UTC
I tried to reproduce this, and the only way I found is to _not_ click on the Fetch URL button, which populates few more fields of the account. Either the Fetch URL can be made mandatory, or the fields will be populated always at the end. I think the latter is better, adds more freedom. Let's deal with this upstream, because it's not Fedora specific. I opened bug [1] for this. Feel free to CC there, any further updates will be done there too.
