Easiest way to upgrade it is via Red Carpet from Ximian...

No.  There are released Mandrake specific rpms at:

ftp://ftp.ximian.com/pub/ximian-evolution/mandrake-91-i586

I just D/Led the latest version of each non-development rpm and
installed them all.  Had to remove some of the old rpms that it objected
to as I had previously tried the cooker version (which didn't work).

Enjoy!

  Just installed 1.4.4  Very nice - even synch with the Palm V works!  I
  still can't find a way however, of archiving or deleting old calendar
  entries.  So currently I have well over 2000 appointment records being
  synchronized with the Palm V, taking many minutes.

When I installed it on my laptop a several weeks ago, I used Ximian's 
Red Carpet. I found out the first time I tried to upgrade to a newer 
version of Evolution that this was the best, cleanest way to go. In 
my judgement, Red Carpet is much nicer and easier to work with than 
Mandrake's own Package Manager GUI. 

I did have one problem that made me decide to not use 1.4.4. The 
printer font was some weird contorted mess that I couldn't find any 
way to change. Have you tried to print an email as yet? I went all 
over the Web, Ximian's site, tried a few suggestions, looked around 
in the configs. I must have been answer-dumb because I just couldn't 
find any way to get rid of that stupid, useless font.

Outside of the font issue, I like 1.4.4. I didn't have that many 
records in my Handspring and had to dump MDK on my laptop for several 
reasonsergo, not enough time with it to experience your problem.

Hi T,

I got 1.4.4. working already, with the RPM's from the site that Brian
pointed out. No problem at all.

 way to change. Have you tried to print an email as yet? I went all 

I very rarely print e-mails. I gave it a try, since you mentioned it. It
does print with a very weird font. Even worse: when printing to a PDF
file, the same weird font is used.

Not a big deal for me, but I can see where the shoe hurts.

Good for you! If you can get all the RPM's needed to satisfy 
dependencies, all's fine.  :0)

Wellat least I know it isn't me, or something specific to my 
layout. I have a RH 9 workstation running the default-installed 
1.2.x. I think I'll install 1.4.4 on it and see if I get the same 
ugly printer font. Maybe someone will jump in here and give us some 
clues as to how to get rid of this font. hint, hint??

I can imagine that printing as a PDF has to be butt-ugly, too.

Hi Paul,

I've just upgraded ximian evolution to 1.4.4 through ximian red-carpet,
wich manages all the dependences stuff (two or three packages were
downloade and updated) automatically. Try it, it works great.  

http://www.ximian.org/products/redcarpet/download.html

Then, choose  Linux mandrake 9.1 for x386 in the list and go.

You can also use red-carpet to upgrade mandrake instead urpmi.
