Re: [Evolution] IMAP comments
I'm going to look at rewriting a bunch of the IMAP code this weekend
(and next weekend and the weekend after that and so on until it's
usable) but my biggest concern right now is that Evolution already
exposes a number of bugs in various imap servers because we use some of
the more advanced features of the imap protocol that most other imap
mail clients don't use. I have a bad feeling that if we try to do stuff
async, we'll catch a lot more imap server bugs and get even more
complaints about not being able to work with server xyz and server zxy
and so on.
That said, the goals of the rewrite should address your concerns (except
the \Recent flag thing... we *could* do it but we'd need to have some
way of showing the difference in the UI and no other gui client makes
the distinction between a \Recent message and a non \Recent message - if
mutt does it, then it's the *only* client that does).

[Evolution] IMAP comments
Hi all,
Just trying evolution for the first time seriously.
It's still not ready to become my default mailer, but it has some
definite excellent points.
Currently, I store all my mail on a permanently connected machine,
which I ssh into from both home and work, and use mutt to read my
mail. Except for work mail which I leave on the work server, but read
using mutt's IMAP support.
So, what is really cool about evolution? Well, it's really cool that
I can directly view attachments inline (which is tricky in mutt!).
It's really cool that I can use my GPG key to decrypt things (which is
hard in mutt because I don't trust my gpg key to the permanently
connected machine, it's only here at home). vFolders are pretty cool
too.
Why won't I switch over to it for permanent use?
1) It doesn't support my personal mail-reading style, which relies on
the difference between \Recent and 'not \Seen' in IMAP-speak. mutt
calls these 'New' and 'Old'. Basically I distinguish between Unread
messages I already know about, and unread messages I've never even
seen (I don't know how mutt handles this, since it isn't using IMAP,
but evolution could do it using IMAP). I often mark a message unread
to remind myself to go back to it.
And mutt gives me the super-handy ability to move between folders
containing unseen (new) messages using the space bar. I have around 25
folders for my various mailing lists.
Having watched evo's IMAP-trace, I see that it doesn't even ask for
the 'Recent' flag. It would be easy enough to change it's STATUS
command from
sending : A00198 STATUS "mail/debian-devel" (UNSEEN)
to STATUS "mail/debian-devel" (UNSEEN RECENT)
2) It's too slow. My IMAP server is a slow old machine, and my
mailboxes are big. The STATUS command takes a non-trivial time for any
mailbox, and a really long time for the big ones; and evolution won't
even let me see my folder list until it's run all the STATUSes.
Evolution could improve this solution in two ways. One is by issuing
STATUS commands before the last one has come back; IMAP is an
asynchronous protocol. You can send of a bunch of status commands and
watch them all come shooting back. (I'm sure this works, I've tested
it by hand).
Secondly (more importantly), as soon as evolution has downloaded the
folder list, it should allow me to browse, while it waits for the
STATUS commands to complete in the background. Evolution does already
do this when you click Send/Receive mail (i.e. run the STATUS commands
in the background) but it won't do it in the background on initial
log-in. This is really annoying: it takes around 90 seconds or more to
log on initially.
3) This isn't a recent I wouldn't use evo, but it's a definite
wishlist: Don't download non-text-plain parts of a multipart message
until I ask for it. Possibly an option to set a size threshold above
which no message part would be download, whatever the mime-type..
Look at this conversation:
sending : A00307 UID FETCH 4554 BODY
received: * 1559 FETCH (UID 4554 BODY (("TEXT" "PLAIN" ("CHARSET"
"iso-8859-1") NIL NIL "QUOTED-PRINTABLE" 5285 135)("IMAGE" "JPEG"

Aaagh! No, pleasse don't download a 2.6M JPEG down my poor 112K line
;-) Not until I've really decided I want to see it, anyhow.
I don't see any of those three on the wishlist bit of bugzilla, but
I'm not very confident at using bugzillas. Shall I submit them? Are
any of them already 'in-hand' for 1.2?
Congratulations on an excellent product,

[Evolution] Strange calendar bug(s)
It's strange, because it's so obvious, but I can't find it in bugzilla. Here's my repro script: Go to the calendar folder Click Week view Click New Appointment Enter Test for Summary Enter today and 6pm for Start Time Enter today and 7pm for End Time Click Save and Close Observe that the Start Time as displayed in today's box on the calendar is 559pm This is 100% reproducable for me. It happened with 0.99.2, and is still happening now with 1.0. I'm using the package from debian unstable. I would report this in bugzilla, but since it's so obvious I have to suspect that it's something wrong with my installation, rather than a real bug. Any suggestions? (There are a host of other similar little calendar bugs, as well. Such as: Click Day View on the Toolbar, click Go To on the Toolbar, click Go To Today, get Wednesday (it's Friday); or click on Saturday in the month calendar on the main view and get Thursday, or the test appointment that I just created in Week View on Friday shows up in day view on Thursday...

[Evolution] pilot conduits: help
I used the release candidates of evolution and found it very useful---especially the ability to sync with my pilot. However, since an upgrade to RedHat 7.2 (from 6.x), I've been unable to get the pilot conduits to work again. (I've tired recompiling all of gnome from source; and I've tried redcarpet ximian-gnome subscriptiong and various combinations of evolution-preview w/ ximian-gnome. No luck so far with gnome-pilot and the gnomecc pilot interface. Everything else works though :-). Anyway, I'm having trouble figuring out how to debug the problem. Is there a procedure for sync'ing an evolution calendar "by hand"? I use pilot-link with various packages like jpilot, PilotManager, pyrite, etc. Having a way to do things manually would make evolution useful to me again and would help in understanding the sync process to see what's going wrong. The second thing that I need to figure out is how to debug a subcomponent, but I haven't finished reading up on bonobo yet.

After editing the > ~/evolution/config.xmldb I'm still getting my contacts searched first. As things stand, matching contacts from your local contact list will always be at the top of the list. The reason why is that the matches appear in the drop-down based on how often you send them mail: people who are more frequently mailed will appear first. We track this information for local contacts but not for LDAP contacts, so the LDAP contacts always end up at the end. Right now, our support for LDAP completion is pretty thin.

Re: [Evolution] kerberos WORKING
the solution:
don't use MIT kerb5. you get that error. if anyone has successfully
gotten it to work with kerb5 let me know what you did.
to install i did this:
downloaded, unpacked, and compiled krb4-1.1. my configure was as so:
./configure --prefix=/opt/kerb4 --enable-shared=yes
(in case anyone reading this doesn't know, --prefix=(path) specifies a
different place to install the program then the default)
i believe the --enable-shared=yes is necessary, but even if it isn't
it's worth having the shared as well as static libraries.
next, of course, you need to setup your /etc/krb.conf. ask a friend or
look online for the exact syntax, and you'll have to talk to some from
your university/company/whatever to find out the info that goes in the
file.
that compiled just great, so then i moved on to evolution. i downloaded
evolution-1.0, and BerkleyDB 3.1.17. i just did a generic
configure/make/make install for Berkley DB.
then with the evolution configure i did as so:
./configure --with-krb4=/opt/kerb4 --with-db3=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.1
--prefix=/opt/evolutionkerb
it went along it's way. i did notice in my config.log a whole bunch of
kerberos stuff related to des, but i'm not entirely sure why or whether
it matters, and for now i'm just glad it's working at all.
after a 'make "MAKE=make -j8" -j8" (the -j8 just for SMP compile) and a
good nights rest (it's a very long compile, even with two processors) i
got up, did a 'make install' and ran evolution. in the mail settings
option i chose kerberos as my autentication type.
in order for it to work, you need to run 'kinit (username)' before you
check your mail or you'll get a "no kerberos tickets cached" or
something similar error. (have the developers maybe thought about adding
an option to have evolution run kinit?)
that's it. about 2-3 weeks of hacking these programs summed up in one
e-mail.

Re: [Evolution] email that crashes Evo
Hi Luis, Thanks for the advice. While this might generally be a good idea I'm a little afraid of upgrading since the one machine that I do have running 1.0 cannot get the configuration database (see MANY earlier messages). As a result I'm kind of forced to leave my production desktop (i.e., the one I rely on) at 0.16 which at least continues to work. BTW, does anyone know if there has there been any progress on this bug (11740)?

Yes, I'll certainly try to save the message an file a bug report. View -> Message Display -> Show Email Source then select still causes Evo to crash. Any way to hand-edit the file? Which?

Re: [Evolution] email that crashes Evo
Before deleting or submitting it, you might try upgrading to the latest snapshot and seeing if that fixes your problem. We've fixed two rather common spam-crashers in the past two days, and we'd definitely like to get a stack trace if yours /isn't/ one of those fixes.

You might want to provide the offending mail in a bug report to bugzilla.ximian.com so Ximian can fix the problem.

[Evolution] ugly fonts from Outlook users
When I get mail from Outlook users, it often contains *something* that makes for really ugly rendering. The attached image shows what I mean. The first "box" is really an apostrophe; the thing that looks like a capital "J" (or which may actually be a capital "J" :-)) is a smiley. The filth that generated this is: I= 217;d say you are getting old and senile J In any case, I have a number of questions concerning thi= s: Microsoft be cursed! :-) Anyway, any thoughts on what I can do to make this look nice? This kind of stuff always comes through in a tiny font (per the attached; my default font is much larger), and with missing characters. I do have the wingdings font available (I believe it's referred to in the junk I quoted), if you're wondering.

In all my mail folders, local and IMAP, the only option on the search option menu is "Advanced...". No "By Name", "By Subject", or anything like that. It's been that way since, oh, probably 0.15 - I don't search that much, and I've kept hoping the problem would go away with the next release. But it's stuck around.

I've checked http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/evolution/po/ga.po which is the latest version, and it seems that it has been translated. The problem seems to be that the caption is picked out from shortcuts.xml, which really isn't a problem if someone might want to edit/rename it. So I'm not really sure if this is a bug anymore (as I don't think Evo should attempt to translate user input data), but it might be an idea for Evo to catch on to the fact that the name of the shortcut hasn't been edited and to display the localised translation of the caption rather than the original caption. k. -- The duck quacks. ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
[Evolution] Evolution dependencies
Hiho - I'm in the middle of trying to convince Evolution 1.0 to compile under OS X. I haven't even started on Evo itself yet - I'm still tweaking the Fink (http://fink.sourceforge.net/) packages around to try and meet all the dependencies. So far so good - currently working on GConf 1.0.7, then I should be able to build gtkhtml 1.0 ... One minor snag is the Berkeley DB library. The Evolution configure script checks for version 3.1.17 specifically. I've built myself a 3.1.17 package to use while I'm testing, and it seems to work fine, but there's a 4.0.14 package in unstable that'll go in as the main db package sometime in the near future. Anyway, the essence of this little essay is simple. Is there a good reason that Evolution MUST have 3.1.17, or will a later version do? Is it just a matter of things not being tested, or will patching the configure script cause my computer to explode? :) Any info would be good. Thanks, Mike. ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
