Holy ...!  I thought this bug was bad, but it just gets worse.  Just now
my bug report was closed as a duplicate... of this bug:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=573736

which is indeed exactly the same thing... REPORTED SEVEN MONTHS AGO!

So we've had (at least) two releases of evolution-mapi with a bug where
all you have to do is press CTRL-E and the entire contents of your inbox
will be completely destroyed, with no warning and no possibility of
recovery (except for getting backups of your Exchange server), and up
until today not only was that bug not fixed, it wasn't even marked
confirmed.

That is just... weak.  Seriously weak.  That bug alone should have been
a release blocker and evolution-mapi should never have gone out the door
without some kind of resolution.

You can do better.

[Evolution] evolution calendar doesn't show birthdays from ldap addressbook

[vitaminx]

Hello,

as the subject already describes I cannot find out how to make Evolution
display the birthdays stored in my ldap addressbook.

The addressbook itself is read without problems (i use the evolution
ldap scheme).

does anyone have a hint where to search or is evolution generally
incapable of reading the birthdays out of ldap sources?


greetings,
vitaminx

The answer is "definitely not: run far far away"...

:-(

I used the Exchange OWA backend for years and it was great.  This new
one is definitely not ready for prime time yet.

Go to Edit->Preferences. Select the Mail icon. Click Add. Add your
account information. Ask here if there's something you don't understand.

I removed the "Current Message" option from the top drop-down menu
because I felt it was confusing to use the same UI for two different
search contexts (one context being the message list, the other context
being the currently shown message).  Also, "Edit -> Find in Message"
seemingly did nothing unless you were watching very closely.

Instead, the same menu item and shortcut key now open a Firefox-style
search bar in the preview pane, which is more noticeable and familiar
looking.  It also makes the search UI consistent in both the preview
pane and the message reading window.

[Evolution] E-mail setup

[Felix Ramos]

People of Evolution; I am having some problems setting my e-mail for evolution. 
 I think I have followed the steps to set and configure evolution mail.  I am 
fairly new to linux.  I downloaded ubuntu 9.04.  I am just getting familiar 
with some of the programs in ubuntu.  I am not a student of computers but I am 
now willing to try and understand how e-mail is configured.  Since I know very 
little about how e-mail works, I am not sure if I am even asking the right 
questions.  So I will start here, with what I am using.  I use yahoo as my 
e-mail.  I also have windows xp. My internet service provider is comcast, 
broadband.  Heck I can not remember how I even set yahoo up.  So if anybody can 
give me any suggestion to setup my evolution I would be very greatful or turn 
me on to a place where I can learn more on e-mail configuring.  Thanks in 
Advance Felix

I think it actually moved awhile ago.  Hmmm, weird.

Re: [Evolution] Can not empty trash

[Ramón Alcain]

Thanks to all. The problem was solved with instructions given by POC in
first message: I created two new folders and moved a lot of messages
(those before 2009) from Inbox and Sent folders to those new. Then I did
Archivo> vaciar papelera (File>empty trash) and it worked.

[Evolution] Searching Current Message

[Barbara Tobias]

I just downloaded version 2.28.1 (running under Ubuntu Linux version
9.10) and find that when I try to search the current message (useful
when reading specific questions in list mailings), that option is no
longer available.  I can get only "Current Folder, All Folders, or All
Accounts."  Has it moved somewhere else?  Thank you.
