One way to figure out, supposing your calendar is already fully downloaded, is to run this: $ grep -c BEGIN:VEVENT ~/.cache/evolution/calendar//calendar.ics It can be a bug in the ews calendar code that it doesn't iterate on the download. I didn't check it in the code, though. > The specific debug variable to use for EWS is "EWS_DEBUG=1" EWS_DEBUG=2 is better, it's more verbose. To get the information from the calendar part one should run evolution-calendar-factory from a terminal with this variable being set. Just like: $ EWS_DEBUG=2 /usr/libexec/evolution-calendar-factory -w &>/tmp/log.txt 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

I didn't check it in the code, though. It doesn't bother me particularly - configuring a new calendar is a rare event for me, so I don't hit the issue often. So long as new events appear reasonably quickly, I'm happy.

I find that sometimes it takes a while for ALL entries in the EWS calendar to eventually show up in a newly configured calendar - no matter how many refreshes I do. (A while = a couple of days.)

[Evolution] Missing Calendar Items
So when I login to the web client (OWA) on microsoft's site, I see many meetings in my calendar. However, after installing Evolution 3.16.5 on my laptop, these meetings are not being shown. Some show up, but others (mostly all) do not. Meanwhile on my evolution (3.16.3) at work, there are only one or two meetings missing, but most show up. In outlook 2011 (mac), and outlook 2010 (win7) all of my meetings show up fine. I am wondering if there's a problem with "special" characters in the description that's failing the download? For example, ellipses or curly quotes in various parts of the calendar entry. It tends to happen with recurring entries, but I am not sure. Is there a way I can debug calendar synch to see why it's failing on downloading the calendar entries?

[Evolution] missing calendar
I upgraded last night (Fedora 19 w/ Evo 3.8.5). I imported by calendar.ics and all seemed fine. Then this morning I went into preferences, added Sun and Sat to my work week and told it to start workweek on Sunday. At that point my calendar content disappeared. I tried restarting Evo but that didn't help. I tried re-importing the calendar, but that didn't help. What gives? Well, I thought, start a new calendar. Maybe that will help. So I'm going through the new calendar routine and get to the point of telling it to use an existing calendar. Fine. I select the calendar.ics again. But now I see a check-box: Allow Evolution to update the file. What does this do? There's nothing in the help files that explains this item.
