[Evolution] multilingual support
Hi, first congratulations for Version 1.0! However, I still find multilingual support in evolution unsatisfactory, which wouldn't be astonishing for older applications, but definitely doesn't fit to a potential killer app like evolution (at least compared to mozilla and star office 6.0). If I want to read (and of course write) Japanese mails I have to restart evolution with Japanese locale! Just selecting the correct codeset doesn't even show Japanese correctly. If I then want to write a mail in German (with umlauts) or sync my palm (with German OS) I again have to restart evolution. Is this a bug or a feature? I hope the first and not the latter. And I strongly hope that it is not a problem of the underlying concept. Gerhard Schuck [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
Re: [Evolution] japanese input
Thank you, it works. I just had to add export XMODIFIERS=@im=kinput2" to your script. Without Japanese menus and text were ok, but kinput still didn't work. But now everything ist ok.

[Evolution] Transfer of data from one installation of evolution to another
Hello, I've just installed evolution for the first time. So the problems I have are still on a very basic level. The first one: how can I share data between two installations of evolution on different computers. I just tried to copy the content of the ~/evolution/Tasks folder from one computer to another. But on the second one the changes of the first one didn't appear. When I opend evolution everything was the same as before I had copied the data of the other computer. More strange: the files in ~/evolution/Tasks seem to be restored to the status before. (Perhaps important: I had imported the data from my palm) So what's going on in the background. Which filed do I have to copy, if I want to transfer data from one computer to another? A second question: Can I open evolution without the email modul? (It might sound strange, but I prefer to use sylpheed) Thanks in advance Gerhard Schuck [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

Unfortunately it doesn't work. I did oaf-slay and killev. Still the same problem. I think there are at least two problems: kinput (the Japanese input method) doesn't work. And, independent from that, Japanese fonts are not configured correctly. Where can I do that? In gnome control center I don't find anything about fonts, nor in evolution. By the way I also can't read Japanese mail, although choosing the correct coding. That seems to be a font configuration problem. But it's not the problem that I don't have the fonts available! In sylpheed, mozilla and a lot of other applications display and input of Japanese text works fine.

[Evolution] japanese input
Hi, How can I get japanese input working for mails in evolution? Usually I start an application with a script like this one (for sylpheed): export LANG=ja_JP export LC_CTYPE=ja_JP export XMODIFIERS="@im=kinput2" export LANGUAGE=en_US sylpheed Then I have english menus and japanese input with kinput2 is working. But with evolution the menus are still german and japanese input doesn't work. Im using evolution RC 2, gnome-control-center 1.5.9 on icewm-gnome (but without gnome or gnome-panel running).

Also "controll center/Advanced/Pilot Coduits" is configured. What I actually do is just push the HotSync button while evolution is open. That' how it should work and it worked well yesterday. My point is, that it worked only with the Pilot Link settings configured as "Syncronize" (and not as "Use conduit settings"), and that this configuration now isn't saved. It always changes back to "Use conduit settings". Sorry if I'm unclear. My English is too bad and moreover I don't really understand what's going on between "gnome-pilot", "pilot-link", "conduits" and "evolution".

[Evolution] sync stopped working
Hi, last Friday sync worked fine with the new RC2 release. Today it doesn't work at all. My Palm says that it can't connect to the computer. What I found out: Even on Friday (a far as I remember) sync worked only, if I choose "Syncronize" in the Pilot-Link settings of the control center. It didn't work with "Use conduit settings", which I find a little bit weird. Today, after sync had failed, I checked Pilot-Link settings and found out that it had changed to "use conduit settings" automatically. But even after changing back to "Syncronize" it didn't work. Somewhere I read that one has to restart the daemon by right clicking on the Pilot-Link icon. This doesn't work here. Right clicking shows no reaction. So I rebooted. Again the settings had automatically changed from "Syncronize" to "Use conduit settings" and sync didn't work. So what can I do?

[Evolution] sync ignores categories
Hallo, sync with the new RC2 version of evolution worked generally fine. But "categories" are ignored in both directions. That leads to a question: How should sync work, if you have two or more categories in one entry? Palm only supports one category at a time. So I suppose that only the first category should be transferred. Regards Gerhard Schuck [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
