If I attempt to authenticate using my web browser, I simply get the 
authentication dialog again, suggesting that I've used the wrong 
password.  If I enter my password in Evolution at the prompt, I get an 
error dialog saying that it could not authenticate.

I followed an earlier thread concerning these symptoms, but I understand 
that was related to plaintext authentication and that it was fixed in 
version 2.0.4.

I've tried setting up the account using ximian-connector-setup-2.0, but 
it also cannot authenticate to the Exchange server.

Currently I've got POP access to our Exchange server via Mozilla.  My 
username is CSGoma/doud01/don_doumakes (domain, NIS username, email 
address respectively).  I've used the same username with both forward 
and back slashes in Evolution and in ximian-connector-setup-2.0 without 
success.

Is there something else I haven't tried?
