The steps you describe are for sharing calendars, not for using public
ones, so no love there. Also, I'm not dismissing it--yesterday on some site
I was exploring, Evolution was touted as an Outlook clone in an article (or
that's what it sounded like). Definately not trying to ruffle any feathers.
I think Evolution can do what I need and its about to become one of my most
used pieces of software.

I'm using EWS, and I can see my own mail and calendars fine. I contacted
tech support at my place of employment and they more or less suggested that
I continue to use the Outlook Web App for interacting with the public ones.

When I choose "create new calendar" I get these options for choosing the
calendar's location:

on this computer
caldav
google
the ews account I set up (with which I'm happily sending and receiving
emails)
on the web
weather

I think I want caldav, but am not sure. Maybe I just need to get the server
admin to tell me where the pubic folder is. If I can see it in a web
browser, it has to have a url, right?

I do appreciate the help. I'm a bit frustrated because everything is very
close to working perfectly.
