[Evolution] Switching to Exchange - Can I import local pop email?
My company is switching from a pop server to Exchange, and I'd prefer to continue using Evolution. Is there a way I can import my local mail into my Exchange account, preferably preserving my folder structure? I copied an email and pasted it into my Exchange account to test and it imported the email, but lost the timestamp. -- Mike ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
[Evolution] Some questions about Exchange Web Services
I'm very interested in the use of the Evolution with Microsoft's Live@Edu service and find myself with some questions I can't find answers to. I've got it working (after some guessing at server urls) with Evolution 3.2.1 on openSUSE 12.1. There is a package in the openSUSE 12.1 called evolution-ews-0.31 the version number of which is 0.31 - Would I be better off building a version from a tar ball or git checkout of the 3.2 branch than with this openSUSE 0.31 package? I can't work out what version 0.31 actually is. By which I mean, none of the branches in git are labelled with a version that starts with a 0 so I've no idea how this version in the openSUSE repos relates to what's in git or if it's a horribly obsolete version. (Perhaps this a question best asked of those who made the package.) - Is the functionality of equal across all the git branches? I've got a machine than has Evolution 2.28 so I'm wondering if I'll get the same functionality in terms of Exchange Web Services with 2.28 as with 3.2. - Is there a definitive list somewhere of what is supposed to work and what is currently known to be not working? (E.g. Autodiscovery doesn't work for me, I had to figure out what url to put in manually. Which took numerous attempts. Global Address List doesn't either doesn't work or is so slow that it doesn't return any results after I entered a search term and left it 15 minutes.) thanks, mike ___ 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] Calendars and GNOME panel calendar
If I use Evolution with evolution-ews, meetings/appointments do not show up in the GNOME panel calendar (what pops up if you click on the date/time). If I create an appointment in my local calendar, that does show up in the GNOME panel calendar. My understanding is that the GNOME panel calendar interacts with something called evolution-data-server. I've tried this with GNOME 2.32 and 3.2 and appropriate versions of evolution-ews. Are appointments from calenders accessed via evolution-ews supposed to show up in the GNOME panel calendar? thanks, mike ___ 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] Exchange Web Services and Global Address List
I'm using Evolution EWS with a evolution-ews 3-0 branch built from git a couple of days ago. I'm using it to talk to Microsoft's Live@Edu service which I think is based upon Exchange 2010 SP2. (Running with DEBUG_EWS=2 I see " MajorVersion="14" MinorVersion="15" MajorBuildNumber="18" MinorBuildNumber="3" Version="Exchange2010_SP2") I can't get the Global Address List to work. Autodiscover doesn't work for me so I had to figure out the URL from using the Test E-mail AutoConfiguration function in Outlook 2010. (I've not filed a bug report about Autodiscover not working because it only works for Outlook 2010 after installing a Hotmail connector and editing a registry setting. So I've no idea whether Autodiscover fails in evolution-ews because of an issue in evolution-ews or because Autodiscover for our organisation is borked at the moment. (Apparently it used to 'just work' until someone changed something.) The url I've given evolution-ews is in the form https://server/OAB/big_alpha_numeric_string_with_dashes_in_it/oab.xml If I try accessing that url via Firefox I get a bunch of XML with references to files with names ending lzx. If I go in to Account Editor > Receiving options and tick 'Cache offline address book' then click 'Fetch List' then the aforementioned XML appears in the DEBUG output and '\Offline Global Address List' appears in the drop down menu. So I'm assuming the url is correct. When I try and search the Global Address List I either get no results at all, or a single result when there should be more than one. E.g. I search for 'Smith' and I get one result for someone with Smith in his name, but there's more than one person called Smith in the Global Address List. I can't pin down the circumstances under which I get a single result or no result. Searching the Offline Global Address List returns no results at all. I don't see any evidence that Evolution is downloading anything relating to the address lists. Where would the Offline Global Address List be downladed to? ~/.cache/evolution/addressbook is only ~100KB and isn't growing. Nothing appears in the DEBUG output when I search the Global Address List. Is this something that should work? thanks, mike ___ 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] Evolution stopped opening HTML email
This started happening a few weeks ago. At first it was intermittent now it happens every time. Usually causes Evolution to freeze and / or close. Sometimes new window will say "opening" and then a message number with same result. Had to change my settings to "open plain text if present". Also Evolution seems to take a while to open, 10 to 15 seconds. I do have a large amount of email stored. A tar.gz backup file is 1.7 GB. Something is telling me that is causing both problems. Is there a way I can archive certain folders? Thanks for any and all help. Mike P.S.

[Evolution] Have I pushed Evolution beyond where it is designed to go?
This is my first post here and it is a long one. I did look at the index of previous posts but there is no way to search through all of them, so I truly do apologize in advance... but maybe, just maybe what I did has pushed out a bug you didn't know about before. This is complicated. I am sorry, but if you don't have all of the info, you will accuse me, potentially of hiding the relevant facts: Until seven days ago, and for thirty years prior to that, I was a user of Microsoft Office Outlook. (That's the client on the desktop, not the online service.) I had thirty years of business and personal correspondence in it. A lot of it in many, many folders and nested folders.) It is what kept me on Windows on this last PC when everything else I had was running Debian Linux. But then I saw that, maybe, I could actually import the PSTs into this release of Evolution. I had tried in the past and it had failed miserably. I tried anew and it worked on a test VM machine. It was all good and so I made the leap, reformatting the Windows 10 computer and put Debian 11.5 on it. I exported the data set from the VM and imported it into the physical Debian platform the VM was now running on. The gz package was 3.2GiB. I still have the VM and can run it, though I don't want to use it as a work platform. On the new platform, with the data imported (and all the data is there) only a day after I imported it, it no longer displayed any new mail. It says there is new mail via a notification popup, but there is nothing in the inbox or anywhere else. -- The versions of Evolution on the VM and the new install are the same. -- Both are running on Debian 11.5. -- On the VM Evolution still works. If I sent mail, it did get sent, but it also didn't appear in the sent folder or anywhere else. Every once and a while I got a UID error message about a problem, but it wasn't all the time. I used apt to remove the package. I deleted the folders, and then deleted the trash, rebooting the PC immediately after that. I ran the VM version for another day, (and it works to this moment, if I want to use the VM) and then made a fresh export from the VM version, sFTPing it to the physical machine. But the same problem existed on the re-installed version. I was on KDE Plasma, so I tried the same procedure all over again installing it under Gnome-X. No difference. The only difference between the VM and this platform is that one has a cinnamon desktop. I really wanted Evolution to work. It is now the repository for all I have done in these last thirty years, but unless there is a way to fix what ails this program, while it allowed me to make the move off Windows, it is now only a vault for old emails and that is not good. ══ Ellis Michael "Mike" Lieberman | Blog <http://lieberman.blog.netwright.net:7080/> Purok 13, Morales Subd.

Re: [Evolution] Evolution plug-in for word count?
I will give it a try, but the issue may well be how the import function on Evolution works with the file and folder format.

Re: [Evolution] Have I pushed Evolution beyond where it is designed to go?
Yes the VM is, and was, off. And anyway, both are set to leave mail on the server for six days during this rollout of the new platform. So it should not make a difference. :-) I have a mail app running on my Adroid Cell phone and it loaded mail right along with MS Outlook for many years without an issue. So I fail to see how that would or should matter. ══ Ellis Michael "Mike" Lieberman | Blog <http://lieberman.blog.netwright.net:7080/> Purok 13, Morales Subd.

Re: [Evolution] Evolution plug-in for word count?
I will but I really think this is a matter of evolution messing up on the import of a very large backup file from another computer. It's a guess, but one informed by forty-five years in IT and five years retired and still dealing with IT. The original VM evolution imported the PSTs, not an evolution backup. ══ Ellis Michael "Mike" Lieberman | Blog <http://lieberman.blog.netwright.net:7080/> Purok 13, Morales Subd.

Re: [Evolution] Have I pushed Evolution beyond where it is designed to go?
Steve is it 27 years and my mail server (mail.netwright.net) sits a meter from my left leg. I don't use a third party for email. Never have since 1994, when I set up my first mail server on a unit running Slackware Unix. [Believe it or not, rather than running Sendmail, I was using server software from a company -- long gone -- which was called alibaba.com (funny how the name popped up again in the oddest of ways).] And then to mail server software called Merak on a WIndows box before switching Debian 4 or 5 and Surgemail which I am still running. That server by my left leg is doing quite a bit, BIND, apache2 web, Intermapper network monitoring as well as the mail server software. [It is running as a Debian VM on Core i3 processor. :-) Did I mention that I am retired and no longer have big iron?] So it isn't a good depository for my mail. If you and other are say evolution can't do it, (even though it runs like a champ on a VM I created on my desktop) then I will leave it as a repository for my other mail and move on. However, it has been my experience that there is a potential bias from those who do things differently to say, 'it can't do that' when they really don't know. Clearly it is doing fine on the VM. It was the export to the true desktop and the import on that new desktop that seems to have created the problem. [Yours were the same complaints I head about Outlook and the size of the mail. So I broke the PST's up and never had a problem, over five separate PC's as the PST's were exportable and backups are great things. so long as there is code that can import the backup.] The only reason I chose evolution was because it could import the PST files (multiple ones) I kept mail in in Outlook. In Outlook, my current mail was not in the same data file as the archive mail. Steve Litt wrote: Mike said on Fri, 04 Nov 2022 13:23:37 + [snip apologies.

It is what kept me on Windows on this last PC when everything else I had was running Debian Linux. [snip explanation of no new emails] I have 20 years and probably more email messages than you spoke of. I don't think any email client on earth is built to hold that volume of email. But the Dovecot IMAP server is, and handles it with ease and grace. My email client is simply a window into my IMAP server (plus of course a way to compose and send). It's been working this way, without a hitch, since 2012. An added bonus of using Dovecot is my email archives are no longer tied to a specific email client. When I got angry at Claws-Mail a few months ago, I quickly and easily switched to Evolution, with no data transfer or conversion. When it looked like the mailing list I rely on would vanish, I went back to Claws-Mail, no hassle. If and when the mailing list gets resolved, I'll switch back to Evolution, no hassle. An email client might be a good place to store four figures of emails, but beyond that, in my opinion, a local Dovecot server is the way to go.

Re: [Evolution] Have I pushed Evolution beyond where it is designedto go?
Sorry, I will try this other email client it defaults to HTML, but I have clicked on a setting that claims it will send as plain text. We will see. For work and general correspondence I can't use plain text as it is inadequate. Further, most places use web-forums not listservs anymore. :-) And so I really forgot the old listserv plaintext rules. I do apologize once again. I cleared some of the errors in the syslog, by removing a video card from the system. The VM was created on the same hardware, when it was running under windows. Bullseye didn't seem to like the living with both an NVidia video adapter and an Intel i915. Once the Intel was gone, after yet another fresh install of evolution, the syslog error messages are gone but the primary issue regarding the failure to 'see' any new mail as it comes in, persists. Maybe this forum is better for configuration issues and not debug of code. I don't know. You all can tell me. I don't need to waste bandwidth if this is the wrong place to be discussing this. All I do know is that I have an instance of evolution on a VM that works and an instance on the direct hardware that does not. The underlying hardware, now that the Intel video is gone, seems to be rock solid. No other software is misbehaving. I suspect I need a way to run a debug on the code during operation of evolution (if that was possible) and send that debug output to the developer (if that was possible). That issue with Linux and applications, the concept that open source is better, is only true for the coders, not anyone else. It is why over the years even though all my servers ran Linux, I stayed with Windows on the desktop. Well, now, Windows is gone and I am on Linux 100%. Evolution isn't working. BlueMail, which I have been using as a daily replacement, is too limiting and causing problems even emailing back to this list. I am now on a search for yet another option for an email client and evolution remains my archive of my old contracts, contacts, correspondence and the rest. [Parenthetically, the listserv is set up incorrectly. I ran listservs, some twenty something years ago, and the settings on return mail are backwards.] [and in a homage to days long gone - and the loss of my normal sig file] Mike Lieberman Imagine whirled peas On Sunday 11/06/2022 at 22:54, Patrick O'Callaghan wrote: On Sun, 2022-11-06 at 06:07 +, Mike wrote: I purged evolution from the PC, deleted the .config/evolution folders, deleted the trash, rebooted, reinstalled at 12:36 and ran it at 12:37.

Re: [Evolution] Have I pushed Evolution beyond where it is designedto go?
Paul, The issue of the syslog errors have been resolved [mentioned in another post]. I answered many of the questions you are asking in thew original email, but I will try to answer once again. You ask (see at this point HTML is easier to show the difference between your questions and my answers) : When you start Evolution (without importing the backup file) what issues do you have? I answer: I never used evolution on the desktop before the import of the gz file and now, even after allegedly purging the problem exists after a 'clean' install. But I can't be sure it is truly clean. You ask: The version of Evolution you're using (not the version of the distribution or desktop). You can use Help -> About to find this. Answered two days ago: 3.38.3-1 You ask: The type of email server you are using (IMAP, POP, EWS, etc.) and any special/non-default settings you use with it. Answered three days ago: POP You ask: A concise explanation of the problem you are having. Answered three days ago: And no it isn't possible to be concise without you complaining later that I left out significant parts. But here is the very short form. I'm sure I will regret this. (A) There are two instances of evolution: #1 on a Debian VM and one on that same PC desktop running the same version of Debian. (B) The VM was used to import all my Outlook PST files (there were five PSTs). That VM still exists and, when run with that instance of evolution running, that evolution works fine. I exported the data from that instance. I then sFTPed the gz file to (C) below. (C) The desktop install of the same version of evolution was done with the importing of the gz file. I never used the software prior to the import. (D) for a few hours the desktop version ran OK and then it stopped displaying any incoming mail. If I used it to she mail, the mail would be sent, but it didn't appear in the sent folder or anywhere else. (Also) as I am using Debian, I use the apt-get for that version that is maintained by that maintainer. That is the *current version* on Debian. *So it DOES matter what platform I am on.* Are you saying I should use a different version from a different source? Yours, Mike Lieberman Imagine whirled peas On Monday 11/07/2022 at 02:06, Paul Smith wrote: On Sun, 2022-11-06 at 06:07 +, Mike wrote: I purged evolution from the PC, deleted the .config/evolution folders, deleted the trash, rebooted, reinstalled at 12:36 and ran it at 12:37.

All of these log messages are just warnings about the codebase, which should be fixed but don't have any direct impact on the application (most likely) [1]. Although there are lots of scary messages here it APPEARS that everything came up successfully. Above you say "that isn't the problem", but you didn't describe what the problem is. When you start Evolution (without importing the backup file) what issues do you have? The important information we must have to start thinking about a problem is: * The version of Evolution you're using (not the version of the distribution or desktop). You can use Help -> About to find this. * The type of email server you are using (IMAP, POP, EWS, etc.) and any special/non-default settings you use with it. * A concise explanation of the problem you are having. All the rest of the details, such as which desktop you're using, what was imported, etc. are almost certainly not relevant (unless the problem is related to a failure to import etc.) It's fine to include them but please format your question so that the most relevant details are clearly stated up at the top, so we don't have to spelunk a long email of other details to dig them out. Also helpful is to use a subject line that encapsulates the problem you're having in a short sentence, rather than one that doesn't help us find this issue in archives etc. And finally, it's helpful to us as readers if you avoid complex/fancy HTML signatures, etc. and stick with just plain text as much as possible.

Re: [Evolution] Have I pushed Evolution beyond where it is designedto go?
Mr. Biggs, do you enjoy being difficult? I made it clear that I did not see Milan's comments. Allow me to say that time invested in this group by you is not confer a privilege to the right to be unpleasant or aggressive. Further the logs do not show what you say. As a matter of fact, as soon as I disabled the i915 Intel card and booted with the Nvidia card alone that and all error messages in the syslog disappeared, even though the code was still not working. That includes the part about the columns which never showed up after the other video adapter was not loaded. I am running evolution now. And it is working. I will leave it as it is. You might like flatpak. That is your preference. I do not. We all, it seems, have been at IT in various ways a long time. There was a time my email address had a # in it and not a @. (You do remember that old VAX format, maybe?) My first POC was with the Internic, long before there was an ICANN and the RIRs. That we haven't crossed paths before I will always consider a blessing. I am done with this matter. The issue is resolved.

[Evolution] removing attachments
I'm using evo 1.4.6. I have many "Sent" emails that were sent with attachments and many emails I've received that have attachments I no longer want. I looked on evo menus, etc., didn't see anything and would like to know if there's some way to remove these attachments (to save space) without having to delete the email itself or resend it to myself sans attachment?

[Evolution] Evolution 2.94 beta bug: vertical preview pane ignores user-set font for subject
Hey folks, I'm using Evolution 2.94 beta and it's been going quite well. Congrats on making a great app that continues to get even better. I have a bug report, and question. * In vertical view, the Subject line is in a specific monospace font, always. It ignores the user set monospace font. The 'From and Time' use the correct user-set font. As do all parts of the Classic View. * There seems to have been no way to specify that you want to read email using a variable-width font, like other graphical mailers. As a workaround I specify a regular font in the 'Monospace font' preference, but am I missing something? My screens much larger than 80 characters wide and I don't find monospace fonts to be very readable.

I can't tell if this is a problem on my end or the normal behavior of the connector, but should the JESCS connector be able to write to a calendar on the server?

Re: [Evolution] Trouble with CalDAV support on Win32 port
If anybody is interested in picking up the CalDAV work there are now at least 2 CalDAV servers which are stable enough to work with - the Darwin server and bedework.

[Evolution] Can't add word to Dictionary
I am using Karmic Koala (Gnome) with Evo 2.28.1 If I compose a new message and it finds a spelling mistake (underlined in red) I can add it to the dictionary (English-AU) and it remembers that word for the rest of that email. The moment I send or dispose of that composed message and open a new compose and type in that same word, the dictionary has not remembered it. Nothing seems to add a word to the dictionary permanently. Never had this problem before. Any help appreciated.

[Evolution] Unread Mail Behavior
I hope I am not asking something that has taken up time before, but I have used Evo for years and love it. (using Evo 2.28.1, Ubuntu 9.10) For well over over a year I have noted the strange behavior of the unread mail. I use that facility all the time. The unread mail drops into that search folder no problems. If I start to work my way thru the mail reading it in the preview pane all goes well unless a new email arrives, or I delete one of the ones I am reading. Then immediately all read mail disappears. I am sure in the older versions the read mail would stay there until you navigated away to another folder. Should it do this??

[Evolution] Missing Items
Guys, could you just help telling me if I am searching for something that doesn't exist anymore?? Running Ubuntu 10.04 and I used the Jacob ppa package to upgrade to Evo 2.30.2. Since then I have lost two things. In the Calendar view, the small calendar that was in the left hand column has gone and nothing I do brings it back. Also I now no longer get the pop up announcements of events on the screen. Both of these facilities are an enormous help for my failing memory!! Now an event goes by and I miss it with no pop up reminding me!! If I do a back up via the menu, take the data to another machine and do a restore to any Evo version, it all works fine along with all my reminders etc, so the actual data seems OK?? Could I be missing a plugin or library or something?? Any help appreciated.

[Evolution] evolution 3.0 - contacts sync problem with google apps contacts
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to raise this issue or not. Please advise. I'm running the Fedora 15 64 bit beta with Evolution 3.0.0. Whenever I setup an addressbook to be sync'd with my contacts in my Google Apps account, I do not get all the contacts and get the following error: "Unable to perform search. The backend for this address book was unable to parse this query. A required property of a element (@key) was not present." Interestingly this works perfectly in Fedora 14 with Evolution 3.2. Also I've noted that exactly 157 contacts are sync'd with Evolution each time out of the 537 contacts I have in my Apps contacts. This has persisted over repeated installs of F15 (just due to the alpha/beta status). I can't see anything unique about the contacts that sync and those that don't. Does anyone have any ideas about this? Should I attempt to file a bug report about this?

[Evolution] html messages converted to plain text?
I'm having an issue sending HTML messages. They look fine in the editor, yet the recipients always receive them as plain text.

Using CentOS 6.3 w/ Evolution 2.28.3 w/ Exchange 2003 and Evolution-Mapi plugin (Evolution-Exchange plug-in is installed.) When selecting public folders, they appear flat in the hierarchy.

I can speak for evolution-mapi, where 3.4.x shows public folders in hierarchy, if its parent folder is also subscribed/known to it.

You can do that only within the Subscription dialog, but anything like "Subscribe this with all its subfolders" doesn't work, because it might mean to fetch whole public folder hierarchy each start of evolution, which is/can-be resource consuming, especially with large public folder hierarchies. I think that is the reason for its unavailability.

[Evolution] evolution-ews - Exchange GAL possible issue?
Hi, I have an issue with evolution/evolution-ews and the GAL in a hosted Exchange environment. Here's the details of my environment: - Fedora 18 beta - fully updated. - Evolution - 3.6.2 release 3.fc18 x86_64 - Evolution-EWS - 3.6.1 release 1.fc18 x86_64 Exchange is hosted from Rackspace currently, which appears to be Exchange 2010. The good news is that mail and calendar work perfect work perfectly with this latest version. However, I seem to have problems with the GAL. Here's what I've observed: - If I access our Exchange service via a web browser I can clearly see both my contacts and valid users in the GAL. - When I setup Evolution, the 'Fetch URL' function appears to work correctly and a 'Host URL' and an 'OAB URL' are automatically filled out. - One minor issue: If I click 'Check for Supported Types' (for Authentication), that operation always fails with a 'Failed to query server for a list of supported authentication mechanisms. Query for authentication types is not supported' message. - Under 'Receiving Options' if I check 'Cache offline address book' then click 'Fetch list', that operation causes an authentication request pop-up that wants my Exchange account pw. I enter the requested password, but it fails to accept it no matter how many times I attempt to enter it. - If I go to Contacts, I can select my 'contacts' and can see whatever exists on the Exchange server. However, when I select 'global address list' no entries appear. Searching for a known entry also displays nothing. - Interestingly, if I compose an email and click on the 'To' button, and have Address Book: = Global Address List selected, I can successfully occasionally search for an find users from the GAL. In order to get this to work, I seem to have to toggle the Address Book selection to Contacts and then back to the Global Address List setting. - After the above succeeds, going back to Contacts still shows nothing in the GAL. - I also have noticed that the authentication doesn't seem to be retained properly by keyring most of the time when I start Evolution, I'm re-prompted for my Exchange password, although this is frustratingly inconsistent. Any help on the above that anyone could give would be appreciated! I've looked at koji and I don't see any newer version of evolution-ews for F18.

My OAB URL does indeed end with ./oab.xml I've just now tried it again on a working account.

Once I changed the filter to "Email Begins With" then I could at least find someone in the GAL. However, there seem to be issues with this at least in terms of functionality. I note that the search only returns the 'Name' and 'Other Email' information. I was expecting all the fields to be returned. I also note that if I attempt to copy the GAL search result to my Contacts, that operation fails with a 'Permission Denied'. Being able to see the full contact details and add the entry with all the fields to Contacts is very useful as you then have the contact information available offline, etc. Are there any enhancements planned for this sort of functionality? > > > - I also have noticed that the authentication doesn't seem to be > > retained properly by keyring most of the time when I start Evolution, > > I'm re-prompted for my Exchange password, although this is frustratingly > > inconsistent. > > I guess the first prompt when you create the account is saved, but left > for gone UID in the keyring.

[Evolution] Editing sender address
Is there any way of editing the sender address during composition? I have dozens of different email addresses that I use for contacting different people/services, which are all "associated" with the same account. For example, emailing this list, I use "evolut...@lists.grepular.com". I had to resort to using mutt in order to send this email as it lets me edit the sender address easily...

[Evolution] Mail not deleting
Using version 3.10.4 on Fedora 20, am having an issue with emails not being removed from my Trash nor Junk folders. This has happened for a few versions now, and cant' remember the last time it has worked. I have both settings enabled to empty trash on exit, as well as empty/delete junk on exit, but yet they are still there. The only way they are removed is if I delete them manually from Junk, and on Trash if I click on File/Empty Trash to remove those.

[Evolution] Problems with evolution
Hi there. I installed evolution (3.34.1-2) on two laptops some days ago. Both run Lubuntu 19.10. Evolution on my very old Acer is running with no problems. Evolution on my HP 8460p runs well, but I can not make changes like change the time in the calender display from 12h to 24h or change the working day scedule. No way to check or uncheck any checkboxes exept the appearance of the buttons (change from mail to calendar to addresses - sorry I only have the German version so I don't know how you call these buttons ..). So whats wrong? Best regards Mike ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

[Evolution] Silent fail in vcf import to Personal
I am trying to migrate to Evolution on Linux Mint. But the handling of contacts is very problematic and time consuming. I tried multiple times to import vcf files to Evolution's default "Personal" address book, and it failed every time. Eventually I created a new address book, and the imports worked every time. The problem is that all of the imports to "Personal" failed silently, and I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out what was wrong with my vcf files. Turns out that my installed Evolution application was failing because I was selecting the "Personal" address book. Once I created a new address book, all my vcf files imported fine. I checked the evolution-list Archives and fund the following two posts. https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2004-May/msg00371.html https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2012-December/msg00103.html Failing silently without any feedback to the user makes it extremely difficult for new users to migrate to Evolution. Either this is a longstanding problem which is being ignored, or I have something very quirky with my setup.

[Evolution] Netscape/AOL password not recognised in Evolution
Hi, I'm inexperienced at computer programming, so please excuse my naivety However, I am an experienced user of various software. Yesterday, Evolution (3.28.5-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 Groupware Suite) stopped recognising the password to access my Netscape/AOL e-mail account. Fortunately, I can still access it on my phone or via the website on my laptop (Dell XPS-13-9370) running Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS and Gnome 3.28.2. 64 bit OS. However, I would like to fix the problem in Evolution. I re-set my Netscape/AOL password via the browser version and it still works there and on my phone but when I enter the new password in the Evolution pop-up, it is not recognised and keep on popping up. I have searched for this issue in the "evolution-list" mailing list but could not find anything. Today, there was a new error message that the "Calendar Backend Stopped".
