Store Microsoft Exchange connection data
When (re-)connecting the RC application to a Microsoft Exchange account, the user has to provide the following data in order to complete that task successfully:
- their email address or domain\username
- their password
- their Exchange server version
- their exchange EWS url
Out of these four (or five, if you count emails and domain\user separately), many users will have two readily available: email and password; some maybe even only know their password.
This is because:
- their username (which could be their email address) is stored on their computer's login screen, and they are only asked for their password on login
- they have no idea whatsoever what version of Exchange is used, and
- the EWS url was mentioned in an email their IT sent to them years ago, and they now have to dig out, if they find it at all
And it's not like this is a set up once and then you're done thing with RC, this repeats over and over and over, with just enough time in between for one to forget values like the EWS url again.
It would be nice if all of this but the password was preserved.

This has been a major pain point for our users as well.
I would go a step further and say that we should be able to specify and restrict what those settings are so that users are only able to access the servers we control.
