Re: [Evolution] Folder contents have disappeared and new error

Hi, the error can be shown with various circumstances. One way the evolution(-data-server) code recognizes a maildir folder is that it contains three subfolders: cur, new and tmp. If any of these is missing, then you get a similar error. It seems to me that your migration to maildir didn't work properly. In case you still see old mbox files (one file for folder, contains all the folder content), then you can open it with a custom account which would point to the respective file, but those files are probably obsolete anyway, you might have more recent content in the to-be-maildir folders. I would try the above add subfolders thing, as the first step.

Re: [Evolution] Evolution client with Outlook Exchange

Hi, I second Andre's question, telling evolution/evolution-ews versions usually helps and gives a clue. The error above Method not allowed means that your Host URL from settings is incorrect, it points to a place where EWS doesn't listen. it can happen when the autodiscovery (Fetch URL button) returns odd address, which can happen by a misconfiguration on the server. Alternatively, you can try to use other Authentication method (Basic, instead of NTLM, or vice versa), though from my testing the wrong authentication method returns different error (like 'Forbidden'). In any case, running evolution with an EWS debugging may give a clue what exactly it tries to do and what it returns from the server. Check the host and path it tries to reach, where the path usually looks like /EWS/Exchange.asmx. The debug command is: $ EWS_DEBUG=2 evolution Bye, Milan ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
Re: [Evolution] Folder contents have disappeared and new error
Frankly, it was a mess. But I have now sorted it out. I believe, what I should not have done, was to have tried to add the exchange account via the Evolution preferences menu. As I see it, the correct approach with my configuration was 1. Install evolution-ews 2. Add the exchange account via gnome system preferences - on-line accounts Evolution-ews seems to pick up that account entry, add it to its account list and everything works perfectly thereafter! (I am running Opensuse Release 12.3 (Dartmouth) 64-bit Kernel Linux 3.7.10-1.16-desktop GNOME 3.6.2 with Evolution 3.6.4) Unless I have overlooked something, the whole mess with adding the account via the Evolution preferences seemed obvious but was, apparently, not the way to do it Anyway, my problem is now solved Many thanks for your help Cheers Harvey On Mon, 2013-10-14 at 09:06 +0200, Milan Crha wrote: On Fri, 2013-10-11 at 12:56 -0400, Alan Finger wrote: he reported error was Cannot get folder '/home/myName/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/.NameOfFolder': not a maildir directory..

Re: [Evolution] trying to set up evo in Ubuntu 12.04
[cut] Hi, and sorry for the delayed reply. Somehow I missed this mail in my inbox. You know, when I open evo using the terminal window, the evo GUI opens and seems to work fine! I'll have to take some more time to work further with it, but opening it in this way it does not crash as soon as I click continue. I do not know what that was happening when I start it from the applications folder. Do you start Evo as the same user in X session and from terminal or do you `su` to another user?

Re: [Evolution] I/O operation timing out
Well I tried that and managed to brick my computer. That's why I was still using Fed 17! Every time I upgrade something goes wrong and it's a two-day catastrophe, as the installers don't like something or other about the hardware. This time I never was able to get my box to boot, even tho the installation seemed to go right any number of times. Something screwy with UEFI which neither Fed 19 nor openSUSE could manage on my computer. Had to move eventually to a different box and update the existing Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on it.It's frustrating that the linux community can't hold to if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Anyway now on a new box with an updated version of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and running evo 3.4.2 I'm still getting the same problem. Omnis, my host, tells me they've checked and there's nothing wrong at their end. Also, my wife never has this problem with her Mac mail.So the only constant here seems to be Evolution. Since the problem is very intermittent--the connection will fail and then work right the next minute--I wonder if it's a time-out triggered by some setting in Evo? The error message is: Could not connect to mail.research.org. TCP connection was reset by peer.

The error message is: Could not connect to mail.research.org. TCP connection was reset by peer. I can confirm the issues Carpetnailz is having: On a quite regular basis, every other day or so, I get similiar error messages on several different mail accounts (two Gmail, a Yahoo, and a Live mail account as well as my local LUG mail account). This does not happen with all accounts simultaneously, they seem to take turns. But that is only my subjective impression, I'll have to track the order which mail account the messages refer to each time. Here on my Sabayon 13.08 I have Evolution 3.8.5 which should still be supported. I run Evolution mail on a desktop machine with MATE desktop 1.6 and on a laptop with GNOME 3.8. Same Evolution behavior on a Debian Testing machine. I'm not quite sure about the exact Evolution version should be 3.8.2, I will check next time when I boot up that computer again, currently it is not running.
