I read (a few) the manual and installed evolution, evolution-mapi and evolution-ews (seems I didn't need that one). Unfortunately in the email settings I do not see Microsoft Exchange in server type. I've tried a few things but nothing works.
My very brief internet search shows that there ought to be a very obvious "Exchange MAPI" server type option in the email account settings (when the plugin is installed), so that makes me think of a few things:
Perhaps your plugins weren't properly installed.
Perhaps Evolution needed to be completely quit and restarted.
Were you trying to configure a new account from scratch, or trying to change an existing mail account over to the MAPI protocol?
Also, my search suggested that evolution-mapi is outdated and replaced by evolution-ews. So, perhaps try the other plugin.
NB: I use Evolution, but not with any Exchange servers (I've never used Exchange). From what I read about exchange, it has various protocols it *can* use (IMAP, POP3, EAS, MAPI, etc), but whether *any* of them are available will depend on how the server is configured. Have you checked if MAPI is the right protocol to use with your server?
