Hello
I'm having a very weird problem with evolution...
Currently, I'm running 1.2, but it was there too on 1.0.8. My system is
Mandrake 9.0.
My mail-list-display shows times in 12 hour format, where my locale is

That is very strange...
Although I use Evolution, both my wife and my mother are running Kmail,
my wife has to see a crash yet.
My mother did have prolbems with the kmail package build by SuSE (it was
the KDE 3.0.4 upgrade). The RPM's from the KDE site worked fine
however.
Kind regards

As far as I know apt/synaptic only work for his repository on ibiblio. I
just downloaded apt, apt-devel and synaptic via ftp. Ran "apt-get

plus their dependencies.

I was unable to get connection sharing to work with 9.0, and suspected that
shorewall was the culprit. I browsed through the documentation at
http://www.shorewall.net/FAQ.htm#faq15
which led me to check the configuration in /etc/shorewall/masq. I changed
eth0192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0

So, anyone has an idea of when Mdk will package its own Evolution 1.2 ?
