Hi, the File->Work Offline and the confirmation to synchronize the folder content is there to ensure that no messages will be missed in the offline folder content. It's not mandatory. Furthermore, once you have set to copy content for offline operation for the folders, then the newly recognized messages are downloaded automatically. Thus the File->Work Offline is rather for the old messages (eventually for those which failed to download automatically for whatever reason). You said in one of the previous messages that some folders are large. Once they will be completely downloaded for offline (or when you opt- out them from the offline synchronization), then the File->Work Offline will be lightning fast and most often not needed at all. > I'm using IMAP (on gmail, to be precise), and what I'd like to > achieve is automatic sync of both headers and bodies automatically, > with minimum network bandwidth usage (hotel/airport networks are > a mess). This gets partly against each other. You cannot expect minimal download when you want to download whole message content. Nonetheless, there is a request to do something similar, for example to not refresh whole folder content (with check what changed for old messages), but only download new messages, when on a metered network. It's similar to your request. Evolution's IMAP doesn't support it yet. Just a note, if I'm not mistaken, Gmail doesn't support quick resync.

Re: [Evolution] Configuring Evolution to work with Axigen Server for Calendar
I am trying to get my calendar to work with Evolution. I am using version 3.12.10. I get a timeout error when setting the configuration to web based. I have attempted to use CalDav with no avail. Typically we use iCal, am I missing a package that gives me that option? I have never used Axigen, but I work on a WebDAV/CalDAV server, so I know about the topic in general. First thing I would do is (a) consult the documentation of the server for configuration information I was looking at it last night to see if there was anything I could point the OP to. The bottom line is that Axigen does not support CalDAV - they explicitly state that in various articles eg https://www.axigen.com/forum/showthread.php?p=30716 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

I have never used Axigen, but I work on a WebDAV/CalDAV server, so I
know about the topic in general.
First thing I would do is (a) consult the documentation of the server
for configuration information (b) connect to the server with a generic
WebDAV client, (c) use curl to hit the .well-known URI to see if the
server supports that.
(b) CalDAV is a *superset* of WebDAV, so a CalDAV server is a WebDAV
server [unless it is ***terribly*** implemented]. You can use cadaver
if you like to work in a terminal or GVFS can connect to WebDAV.
Just aim nautilus at dav://{user}@{serverName}/{uri} and you should
be able to access the server, if that doesn't work, Evolution will not
work, as your URI is wrong.
P.S. You can use davs:// to do WebDAV over HTTPS
(c) curl -u {username} -v http://{servername}/.well-known/caldav
This should provide an HTTP/301 to the root of the server's CalDAV
collection. This is the official way for clients to do
auto-configuration when meeting a new server.
curl -v -u adam https://www.example.com/.well-known/caldav
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved
Server: nginx/1.4.0

Content-Length: 0
Connection: keep-alive

Re: [Evolution] Configuring evolution-mapi for Exchange 2000 server vs. Openchange client
On Wed, 2012-11-21 at 12:49 -0600, Josh Jackson wrote: I'm having some difficulty configuring evolution-mapi to access my department's Exchange 2000 server. I am able to access the same account using the openchange command line client. When I try to add the account in evolution I check the 'Kerberos authentication' box and put in the same realm as I used when I setup openchange and it responds 'Host unreachable'. If I uncheck the Kerberos authentication checkbox it refuses my password - the same password that works in openchange. Hi, I guess the Host unreachable is caused by the server, returning incorrect address. But why you get your password rejected is strange. Could you run evolution like this, please: $ LIBMAPI_DEBUG=15 evolution log.txt and do the authentication with kerberos, then observe the log.txt file. One thing, the file will be very long, it logs quite much information, thus check the end, I suppose it'll write there the host unreachable error too. Then you can see what host it is. I would add this host to your /etc/hosts, with correct IP, to workaround issue in server setup (if it's it). You can similarly catch log with the password. By any chance, do you have set also Use secured connection in evolution? I do not see that being on in your mapiprofile command, thus I would unset it too - or vice versa for testing.

With gnome-settings-daemon supposedly running, stopping and restarting
Evolution does not pick the settings from Gconf. Instead, the errors
continue intermittently. This doesn't look like the answer.

Hehe. :) Let me take a guess...
The OP is building Evo from source, and running ./configure fails. The
above error message pretty much indicates he is missing a required
dependency. In this case gnome-icon-theme.
So the solution is to either build gnome-icon-theme from source, or to
install the devel package for gnome-icon-theme provided by his distro.
Anyway, this likely will not be the last missing dep, considering g-i-t
being pretty early in the stack... :)
