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.
dnf install evolution-mapi .
Not sure what else to do, and yes Evolution
was not running when installing.
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Also, my search suggested that evolution-mapi is outdated and replaced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.
EWS asks for a web URL which
that server doesn't have.
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?
