>Description:
When using a gnutls port after 1.4.4, evolution will no longer authenticate with Microsoft Exchange servers (either in the initial account setup dialog, or if you "upgrade" to newer port revisions after setting up an account).

Rebuilding with the 1.4.4 version of gnutls allows authentication to occur normally.

Packet dumps of both configurations can be made available to assist in debugging.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install the current version of evolution and gnutls (I do so through the gnome2 port). Attempt to configure a new account to a (working) exchange server. The wizard will not be able to authenticate the username and password, and will not be able to proceed until the username and password is authenticated.
>Fix:
At present, the only known fix is to revert to gnutls 1.4.4. As the ports tree continues to evolve, this is requiring an increasing number of changes to the peer ports to allow the builds to complete.
