Ubuntu + Evolution + Exchange

November 10, 2015 - 1 min read

By default Ubuntu does not install the EWS (Exchange Web Service) plugin for Evolution

sudo apt-get install evolution-ews

Then go into Evolution and choose the following settings:

Server Type: Exchange Web Service
Username: WINDOWS-DOMAIN\username
Host URL: https://webmail.company.com/owa/

Now click “Fetch URL” and it should ask you for a password and populate the Host and OAB Url correctly.

It will then try and launch Evolution but for me I had to restart for it to correctly work and then it asked me a couple of times for my windows password.
