No, sorry, SL is *still* RHEL - the OP is using SL 7.2, which is the same as RHEL 7.2 and CentOS 7.2 (with extra packages). It is a bit out of date since RHEL/CentOS is now at 7.3 (but Evolution is still 3.12.11) P. ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

In fact it is really easy to get information from AD via LDAP and even LDAPS (if this port is open) *if* you get the authentication right. You can't get anything using anonymous access, because by default the guest account is locked. But if you authenticate using a valid dn with a valid password everything should work smoothly.

Please give the actual error messages you see. Are you sure your email provider allows Leave On Server (e.g. does it work with other mail clients such as Thunderbird?)

We're not talking about Windows here. OTOH your system *is* out of date. Scientific Linux was essentially RHEL with some extra packages, but is no longer supported except for security updates. That means you are heading for trouble sooner or later because at some point the software you use will no longer be updated (like Evolution). I would recommend taking a look at CentOS and adding the specific additional packages you need. poc ___ 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] spool directory always none
Hi all, before to reinstall evolution , I delete $HOME/.local/share/evolution and $HOME/.config/.evolution. The version 3.12.11 of evolution is the last version of Scientific Linux 7.2. I use either: 1)POP account with the problem that I cannot leave messages on the mail server 2)local account with the problem that I can not set the spool file. I would understand if my Scientific Linux 7.2 is misconfigured and I must reinstall it Luigi Il giorno gio, 29/12/2016 alle 11.40 +, Patrick O'Callaghan ha scritto: > On Wed, 2016-12-28 at 20:36 +0100, luigi wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > I use Evolution version 3.12.11 in a Scientific Linux release 7.2 > > (Nitrogen).

Re: [Evolution] LDAP Frustration
Quoting Pete Biggs : > I'm trying to set up Evolution (v3.18.5.2, as installed by Ubuntu > 16.04) to pull GAL information from our Active Directory, but it is > unbelievably frustrating. I presume it's because the OP is trying to get information from Active Directory and not from an Exchange server - they are different things. TBH my experience of using AD as if it's a native LDAP server has never been very fruitful. It always seems as if MS has tweaked it to make it incompatible with "standard" LDAP. But it is a few years since I tried it. I have done alot with AD via LDAP. Their LDAP is pretty good - but it is a very complete LDAP configuration with detailed access control provisions, including SSF ... very unlike most Open Source LDAP installs which generally play fast-n-loose with security [likely because setting things up well in OpenLDAP is crazy tedious - and the documentation is awful]. One of ADs real advantages is that it says this-is-how-it-works-deal-with-it. Aside: SSF is Security Strength Factor, so what you can do on a connection depends NOT ONLY on who you are authenticated as but HOW you authenticated and HOW your connection is protected [signed, sealed, TLS, etc...]. If you can't start out using the ldapsearch CLI to see what works and what doesn't you are going to have a hard time. Determining that via any kind of client is going to be a hair pulling experience. At least make sure you have Kerberos authentication working. However, at the end of the day LDAP makes a ***TERRIBLE*** address book solution. Terrible, just terrible. I spent countless hours trying to create a happy LDAP solution, documenting differences in schema, clients, etc... It looks great on paper, but nobody followed the rules [*1], so in practice it isn't good for anything other than a basic read-only data source. [*1] And least of all the Open Source community. LDAP support in most Open Source projects is an i-did-not-bother-to-read-the-docs hacked-in train wreck. In defense, to really do LDAP support well a project needs to implement a myriad of configuration parameters and preferences ... which most people are going to ignore anyway - then proceed to post on the interwebz about how it doesn't work. :( LDAP is not simple. It, like XML, is an open ended standard. If you can use Exchange or a WebDAV (CalDAV/CardDAV) solution you will be much better off with that. ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

I am not completely sure, what your exact problem is though. But to get it fixed, please create a ticket for the Evolution project in the GNOME bug tracker [1].
