Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evolution-mapi

I'm using evolution-mapi to be able to send/receive messages throug our
Exchange server. Everythings work fine regarding send/receive when the
names of the recipients are ascii-only letters (i.e. "Peter English
<pengl...@example.com>". However, when trying to send e-mails to someone
who has non-ascii-only letters in his name (i.e. "Juan Súrnäme
<jsurn...@example.com>"), the message stucks in the local Outbox folder
and there's only an error in evolution status bar with the text "error
while sending message...". If I click in the error the expanded
explanation is not very explanatory: "Error while sending message. Could
not send message". There's no additional output neither in the terminal
from which evolution has been launched.

Note that even removing autoexpand (that is: changing the proposed "Juan
Súrnäme <jsurn...@example.com>" obtained from the Global Address List to
"jsurn...@example.com") the problem is still present.

Receiving e-mail messages from those addresses works OK.

The only workaround I've found so far is to create an SMTP send-only
account (fortunately or Exchange server has SMTP enabled) and send
messages using SMTP whenever some of the receivers have some áéíóú etc.
letters in his/her name.
