evolution mapi issues

My exchange account was just migrated to a 2007 server.  I disabled the 2003 account, and am trying to set up the 2007 account with evolution-mapi.  Every time I get to the point in the new account wizard where I authenticate, evo crashes.  Here is the command line output.  Thanks for any help or suggestions.  I really don't want to use OWA, and I can't get MailDAV to recognize my java re.

I've never gotten evolution to work correctly with Exchange 2007. I
ended up having to completely remove the evolution MAPI plugin because
all it did was cause evo to segfault.

If this is Evo 2.28.0, you need the first four git commits after its
release, which fixes segfaulting on my system.

Or get 2.28.1 (or get your distro to do that).

Not at work today, but I'm pretty sure it's Evo 2.26.1 (ubuntu 9.04  
jaunty).  I plan to upgrade Monday. Is the mapi plugin more stable in  
2.28?

I used 2.26.1 also, it was partly stable in my experience. 2.28.1 is
rock-solid for me. As mentioned, 2.28.0 is (IMO) crap, but it was fixed
REALLY fast. Unfortunately due to gnome's release system, the fix was
only released at 2.28.1, unless you want to compile it yourself (that's
what I did).

I haven't touched my Buntu install for ages, so I have no idea what
version Karmic has. You should check, and lobby for 2.28.1 if you have
to.

Karmic has 2.28.1.

I've also updated my makefile for building code from the Gnome sources
so it works with the new git repositories, and it can also build the
openmapi code as well.  It's still in testing but a few people have used
it successfully; let me know if you want a copy.

I'm having very mixed results with stability; I haven't been able to get
Evo to function with MAPI anywhere near as well as I had it working a
year ago, with our Exchange 2003 server and the OWA backend.  In
particular, I've never even come close to getting the calendar support
working, and I'm seeing a lot of failures trying to SEND mail through
the Exchange server.

In short, so far, there's no chance I can give up my lookOut! running in
CrossOver and go back to Evo full time--as much as I'd love to.

That's depressing.  I have tried DavMail with a little success.  Ironically, I can't get it to run under gnome because it can't find the java on that machine.  It is working fine in KDE so I may end up using kmail if my experiences are like Paul's.

Ubuntu 9.10 / Karmic has Evolution 2.28.1, but the MAPI code is still 2.28.0 for some reason.

dpkg -l | grep -i mapi
ii  evolution-mapi                             0.28.0-0ubuntu1
dpkg -l | grep -i evolution
ii  evolution                                  2.28.1-0ubuntu1

It has not picked up the four critical GIT checkins yet (mentioned elsewhere on this list) , and still (because of the downlevel MAPI) does not work out of the box with Exchange 2007.
