Evolution and Office 365

In Evolution Mail there is an option to create an account for Exchange with an OWA address. Does someone have an idea how to get the required data from Office 365 to get working in Evolution? Microsoft support did not help and refused my help request because of the word Ubuntu in the post ;)

The OWA url is https://amsprd0302.outlook.com/owa but I do not know what username and mailbox name to use.

Solution 1:

It is very rough at this point, but the evolution-ews plugin partially works with MS 365. It should be available in the same repo you use to get evolution-mapi. This isn't a 100% solution, but it (for me) is better than the DavMail solution or using WINE/VM/Firefox.

Solution 2:

Edit your account. (edit>preferences>select your account>edit)

Go to "Recieving Email"

Your username is your full email address, e.g. [email protected]

Your host URL is https://outlook.office365.com

Once you've entered those 2 bits, click "Fetch URL". It will prompt you for your password, then populate the required fields for connectivity.

Done.

Solution 3:

If you use https://m.outlook.com and click the "Fetch URL" button the rest of the fields should auto populate. This is working on evolution 3.8.x
