RE: Evolution with exchange

Matt & others,
I've just tried this at home, using an Evolution-Exchange account
remotely.
Again, it is impossible to get the conduit to retain the selection of
the ev-exchange calendar / addressbook / todo list.
 
This surely IS a bug, isn't it? Or is there some fix?
 
Jamie

In fact, when I close the window and reselect, I find that the WRONG
calendar has been set. It changes it to a personal calendar (local).
I've just synced (very annoyingly) therefore against the wrong calendar
etc..

Any other suggestions?

	I wasn't aware of that bug, but I can reproduce it.  The good
news is
	that the blank field seems to be entirely cosmetic - the
configuration
	change has in fact been made.  If you close the config window
and reopen
	it, you'll see the selected calendar correctly set.
