[Evolution] Evolution 3.0.3 -- when?

2011-08-19 Thread Jonathan Ryshpan
I've been running the Evolution mail system under Fedora-15/KDE for
about 6 weeks now, and it has some very serious problems, which I can
summarize as: 

 1. It ignores font control from the KDE Settings->Applications
Appearance window, both KDE font control and GTK+ font control,
also its own internal font control window. 
 2. It has trouble sending messages to an SMTP server, sometimes
taking a l-o-n-g time, sometimes timing out. This can be
temporarily cured by restarting it 
 3. It crashes when a filter attempts to refile an outgoing
message. 
 4. It often asks if I want to recover messages that have never been
lost. 
 5. It often locks up receiving mail from a remote POP3 server.
 6. It often refuses to move messages, which can be copied and then
deleted producing the same effect.  I have read that after a
single message has been copied into a folder it will then always
be possible to move messages into the folder; but this is not
so.
 7. Deleted messages often do not disappear from a message list,
even when "Show deleted messages" is not active, though they do
appear in strikeout type.  Selecting another folder and then
returning to the first folder makes the messages disappear from
the list.

I can live with these, except for items 1 and 2, since I have
workarounds.

Versions are: 

  * Fedora-15 
  * KDE 4.6.5 
  * gnome-3.0.x 
  * evolution-3.0.2-3 
  * all running on a 4 processor x86_64 system

There are rumors that some or all of these problems will be cured in the
3.0.3 release, which will come out "real soon now".  Will the release
happen in the foreseeable future?

Thanks - jon

It's been talked about but I don't think we ever agreed on a date.
There's a developer meeting this coming Wednesday.  I'll bring it up
again.  My suggestion will be September 5th, since we already have a
3.1 release scheduled for the 29th.

I'm Evolution in GNOME3 on openSUSE 11.4 and I don't believe I've  
encountered any of these issues.


IMO, #2 sounds like the problem lies elsewhere, not in Evolution.

I know I've never seen #4.

Do 6 & 7 only affect local folders (POP) or remote (IMAP/IMAPX)  
folders as well?

#1 is a KDE issue.  I didn't have it while running Gnome3.
> IMO, #2 sounds like the problem lies elsewhere, not in Evolution.
Very likely you're right.  I've been waiting for 3.0.3 before doing
serious investigation.
> I know I've never seen #4.
This is not new to me.  I've seen it for about a year, under both Gnome
and KDE.  In the latest version of evolution it happens a lot.

Local folders only.  I don't run IMAP/IMAPX.

> The question remains: When will evolution-3.0.3 (or 3.1.x) be out?

Hi John,

I support very much what you have written. I encounter the problem #2
and #3 and the one I wrote about several days ago.

Number 2 is a known bug reported as:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=653957 
and
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=651316
There is a fix (not available for Fedora-15 anywhere I can find) which
is planned to be released in evolution-3.0.3.  This is one of the
reasons I would like to have and test 3.0.3 before proceeding further.
