Re: [Evolution] infinitive wait for network events

2013-05-08 Thread Pete Biggs

 
 I've been using evolution since early betas and the only reason I still 
 on it because sometimes I must use redirect feature that is missing in 
 thunderbird.

Re: [Evolution] infinitive wait for network events

2013-05-08 Thread Pete Biggs

 
  Not sure about LDAP but load images is not enabled.
 
 I do not recall ever seeing connection issues regarding LDAP.

The mention of LDAP came from me - most of the connection issues I had
were solved when I stopped Evo from looking up contacts in my remote
LDAP address book to see if it should display images.  The LDAP address
book on its own was fine; the loading of images was fine if I didn't
have the LDAP setup; but the two of them together gave lots of problems.

  Main reason I started this thread is to seek diagnostic help as I 
  clearly stated in my question. I apologize if inline attachment caused 
  problems.
 
 It didn't cause any problems, and was fine by me.  There are just some
 people here you are grumpy about attachments [although they use an
 excellent mail client that handles them gracefully ;) ].

But it wasn't an attachment, it was in-line text; and Evo didn't handle
it at all, let alone gracefully; it just displayed the uuencoded data.

[Evolution] Help files

2013-05-08 Thread Bart Hollis
Using Evolution 3.6.3 on openSUSE 12.3 with KDE desktop.

The Help - About - Contents shows an error message : Could not display
help for Evolution. The specified location is not supported.

I don't understand the not supported part.
Knowing where the help files are located might give me a start.

I've looked in /usr/share/evolution/3.6/help/.  The only entry there is
quickref/ and see I files for different languages.  There is no en
folder.  There is a folder named with an upper case, underlined C which
contains an English quick reference card.

I can't find anything else.

The gnome help system (yelp) looks for things in /usr/share/help

The language you are looking for is the same as your locale settings and
in locale terms, 'C' is the default if your locale doesn't exist.  What
it comes down to is that the 'C' locale is American English.  So the
Evolution help files should be in /usr/share/help/C/evolution and on
F18, those files are provided by the evolution-help package.

Make sure you have 'yelp' installed.

Also check whether help files for Evolution are packaged separately on
openSUSE.  We do that on Fedora for the sake of the live CD; help files
are in a separate 'evolution-help' package.

[Evolution] ActiveSync support updated for Evolution 3.8

2013-05-08 Thread David Woodhouse
I've rather belatedly pushed the updates to evolution-activesync to make
it support Evo 3.6 and 3.8. I'd been running with some hackish local
changes that I couldn't bring myself to commit, but I've finally cleaned
it up and ditched a lot of the support for ancient Evolution versions.

I *haven't* updated the eplugin; I'm not entirely sure how to. Normally
I cheat and copy from the EWS back end, but there have been a *lot* of
changes there and a lot of them aren't relevant because we don't (yet)
handle calendar and addressbook in ActiveSync; those are handled through
SyncEvolution instead.

Matt, or anyone else with sufficient clue: if you have a chance to take
a look and update the eplugin to work in 3.8 (and perhaps 3.6 too), that
would be much appreciated!

I'd *still* love to see a bunch of that stuff exported from the camel
back end in the form of HTML/JS rather than native GUI code. It would
make the e-mail-factory approach a whole lot saner.

Re: [Evolution] About performance

2013-05-08 Thread Gonzalo Aguilar Delgado

Hello,

Yes, I warned about this and disk problems some time ago. Now it's time 
to switch.


Last version of evolution constantly crashed for me (the one comes with 
ubuntu 13.04). Sent a pair of bug reports with launchpad but I cannot 
continue use the program with this high degree of problems.


I was a high evangelist of evolution but right now it has not the 
quality it used to have.


Thunderbird seems to have progressed better and in a more robust way. It 
also handles sieve.


I hope I can switch back to evolution when this kind of problems are 
solved. The most important one is performance because a mail client that 
is so slow is the worst of all usability problems.


I have to say that all my friends also switched to Thunderbird and never 
looked back. Hope I can look back in near future because I used to love 
this application... (Evolution now!)


Best regards,

PS: I'm quite surprised to see that developers never saw the performance 
problem to come... Do you use evolution in your day to day work?

The problem is that I have to wait for a new mail window about  16
secs, or more. It constantly hangs or crashes and the interface is
little responsive.

This may be related to a massive widget leak that Milan discovered in
the composer window.

Widgets from closed composer windows were sticking around in memory and
responding to events, which eats up CPU.  So the more composer windows
you create during an Evolution session the slower it gets.

I believe the bulk of the leakage was fixed in GtkHTML 4.6.3.

Please add in Ubuntu to your statements as you chose to use a
distribution that deliberately ships old versions and doesn't provide
upstream bugfix updates to their users.

Just to get the facts straight who to blame for missing quality.

Yep, I'm on openSUSE 12.3 GNOME 3.8.1 and *YES* I use Evolution all day

This was true in the past but not now.  Ubuntu 13.04, which was released
in late April and is based on Gnome 3.6, provides Evolution 3.6.4,
released 6 March 2013.  Six or seven weeks later: pretty up-to-date.  If
you like Ubuntu and must have the 3.8 series you can go with Ubuntu
Gnome and update to Gnome 3.8; same as with openSUSE.  Now that Ubuntu
is a sorta-kinda rolling release, I expect more up-to-date versions of
everything to appear.

Evolution is no longer the default MUA in Ubuntu, but it still
integrates nicely with their version of the Gnome calendar.  Works very
well for me and my extended family.

Evolution 3.8 also supports Ubuntu Online Accounts, written by yours
truly -- an integration feature their default MUA still lacks.

But no, I'm not bitter...  ;)
