I have had the same segfault problem with Connector, but using RH9. I tried to submit a bug report through bug-buddy (IIRC), but got no response. Since then our IT department has shutdown the Exchange 2003 OWA in favor of the 5.5 version. When (if) it is restored I'll troubleshoot more.<BR>

Also, there does not seem to be a try-before-you-buy option.<BR>
