[Evolution] Opening Evolution contact in address book freezes Evolution, Gnome
Hello list, I'm using Evolution primarily for its address book functionality. When I click on a contact, I very often find, but not always, that almost everything freezes. I can move my mouse, but I cannot interact with any part of the gnome desktop, Evolution included. Alt+Tab still works, so if I already have a terminal window open, I can bring it into focus and then kill the evolution process. If I kill evolution, interaction with the desktop is restored. Version: evolution-2.32.1-1.fc14.x86_64 Dist: Fedora 14 Address book size: 15M, about 3000 contacts Any ideas?

I was previously able to use the OWA Exchange option in evolution on my FC 13 host, but now that doesn't work and I got everything to work over to IMAP. Of course with IMAP I don't get Calender or the Global Address Lookup from the Exchange server. I got a new host from work and installed FC 14 on it and got the same IMAP setup working on it for mail. I was about to take the old FC 13 host down to use for other purposes and happened to try the Exchange MAPI option. It took a little while to get synced up, but in the end I could see my emails ( I had two folders a Favorites and a Mailbox for Username) and also I could see calendar events and I got access to the Exchange server's Global Address Lookup. I haven't tried using it much but what I have tried seems to work. So, I tried the same settings on my new FC14 host. It seems to like the password OK but for that account it only shows the Favorites folder and not the Mailbox for UserName so I can't see any mail or the calendar or the Global Address lookup. Why would this work in FC13, but not FC14 ? I think problem should not relate to FC version. This problem occurs when evolution (mapi) is not able to autheticate to server. Can you delete existing account and try to configure it again by providing right password. If problem still persists then you can paste evolution traces then we might be able to figure out problem. Thanks Punit Below are the various package versions and plugins on the different hosts: On the FC14 I have these packages: openchange-0.9-9.fc14 (X86_64) evolution-mapi-0.32.1-1.fc14 (X86_64) FC14 plugins: Attachment Reminder Automatic Contacts Backup and Restore Calendar Publishing Custom Header Default Sources IMAP Features ltip Formatter Mailing List Actions Mail Notifications Mail-to-Task Mark All Read Outlook DBX import Prefer Plain Text Save Selected Subject Threading Templates WebDAV contacts On the FC13 I have these packages: openchange-0.9-2.fc13 (X86_64) evolution-mapi-0.30.3-1.fc13 (X86_64) FC13 plugins: Attachment Reminder Automatic Contacts Backup and Restore Calendar Publishing Custom header Default Mail Client Default Sources IMAP Features ltip Formatter Mailing List Actions Mail Notifications Mail to Task Mark All Read Prefer Plain Text Save Selected Setup Assistant Subject Threading Templates WebDAV contacts I would love to have full access to the companies Exchange server, but I really don't want to go back to FC13 at this point. I assume I'll have to fight this battle at some point or another. Any ideas or pointers would be appreciated.

Either run evolution in gdb (see http://projects.gnome.org/evolution/bugs.shtml ), or if that does not provide any interesting output maybe strace might be an option. andre -- mailto:ak...@gmx.net | failed http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

[Evolution] Minimal screen width wider than many screens
Hello I don't think that the problem I am going to talk about is a bug. In fact, it is rather a conception default. I am using Ubuntu 10.10 on my netbook (the current netbook edition is much slower than the previous ones and it uses about 40% more battery...). As you probably know, Evolution, which is usually a great program, is the default mail client for Ubuntu, both standard and netbook editions. Somebody decided that the minimal window width for Evolution should be 1030 pixels. Not 1024, nor 1037, but 1030. I do not really understand why somebody decided that the minimal window width should be limited, nor why such a limit has been chosen. There is probably a very good reason which I do not know. Unfortunately, many screens are limited to a resolution of 1024x[something]. My netbook, for example, has a resolution of 1024x600. Unfortunately, since the window of Evolution is wider, I have two options. I can maximize it. In that case, a few pixels of the window won't be visible. That's not really a problem. Unfortunately, there is another effect which is much more annoying. Every time I click on the window (anywhere, on a button, on the menu bar, on the title, ...), it is shifted of these few pixels. On the left first, then on the right, then on the left again, ... Since it is shifted before the click is handled, it often makes me miss the button or the scrollbar. That is annoying. Sometimes, it also makes me click on the wrong button. And when I do not maximize it, it becomes visible on two workspaces. On the first one, I see most of the window, but on the other one, I see only a thin line of pixels. So when I receive a mail and click on it in the window list applet, I'm not brought to the correct workspace. Instead, I have to click twice : once to go to the correct workspace, a second time to open the window. That's not really annoying when one does not use often Evolution, but after some time... Knowing that Evolution is the default mail client for Ubuntu, I think that such a default is a very bad advertisment. I hope that the person who thought that everybody has an horizontal resolution of more than 1030 pixels will read it. I also hope that this flaw may be corrected in a futur version of Evolution - until then, I'll use another program on my netbook, but since Evolution is really a good program, I'll continue using it on my desktop computer, which has a resolution of 1280x1024.

Nobody decided this. The minimal width completely depends on the length of some strings in the User Interface in your language. Unfortunately, many screens are limited to a resolution of 1024x[something]. My netbook, for example, has a resolution of 1024x600. You might want to use evolution --express which is the netbook user interface of Evolution. andre -- mailto:ak...@gmx.net | failed http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

I am typing the exact same password on the FC13 as I do the FC14 to the exact same server and I get stuff for FC13, but not FC14. How do I generate the traces or enable debugging in general and where dos the output go ?

While trying to access or authenticate to server you will see some error messages in terminal which you can paste here. And I found a good thread which might be helpul for you. http://gnome-evolution-general.1774414.n4.nabble.com/Problems-with-Exchange-MAPI-td2992416.html Thanks Punit Thanks Chris Kottaridis ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
