Generally, I'm finding the EWS extension for Evolution to work quite well. But I do have one significant and one minor complaint. Perhaps there is something I'm doing wrong ... The major problem is that I can't get the Exchange addressbook to be visible to Evolution. I have triple-checked the OAB URL shown by Outlook and I'm sure I've entered it correctly. But any attempt to access the AB gets the message, "e-data-server-ui-WARNING **: ENameSelector: Could not load "AD": TLS not available", and Evolution's UI shows a red box stating, > Unable to open address book > This address book cannot be opened.

I am running Fedora 16 and its 3.2.2 version, and it is not working well there for a different reason completely: It works a couple of time, but then the address book part of the data server crashes. I am running against Exchange 2007 by the way. I copied my OAB in from Outlook and that fact that it works a few times and then stops 9and the fact that the problem is closed upstream according to the bug report I did on it) tell me only that the address book functionality is not as stable as the rest of the EWS feature yet. To work around all that, I turned off the GAL, and defined an LDAP address book pointing at the active directory domain controller. Evolution 3.3.3 is supposed to fix the issue I am seeing. Yours, being TLS sounds different: I am I believe using TLS successfully. Perhaps you are trying to, and the server is not set to use it? I have also seen a possibly related message when viewing mail (not trying to access the AB), "SendMeetingInvitationsOrCancellations attribute is required for Calendar items". The minor problem is that, although my filters clearly specify that one of the actions to take for certain messages is Set Status: Read, the messages remain unread. When I explicitly read a message, it takes about two seconds for the read attribute to change. Then when I view a different "folder", the unread attribute returns. When I return to the "folder" with the message I already read, it initially shows unread, then changes to read after a few seconds. After the second time, the read attribute seems to finally stick. -- Steve Carl steve_c...@bmc.com<mailto:steve_c...@bmc.com> blogs: "Adventures in Linux" : http://communities.bmc.com/communities/blogs/linux/ "Green IT" : http://communities.bmc.com/communities/blogs/green-it/ _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
