Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution-exchange
Platform: Intel Pentium M (Dell Latitude D610),
Ubuntu Feisty Fawn (with all updates)
evolution 2.10.1-0ubuntu2
evolution-exchange 2.10.1-0ubuntu2
Bug behaviour: If evolution is started in online mode, and is unable to
connect to the Exchange server (ie. when I'm outside of the work LAN,
and no VPNC connection is up), I'm prompted for a password, even though
the password is stored inside Evolution. I'm also prompted with three
separate dialog boxes that overlay each other and hides each other.
If I kill evolution (and all evolution server processes), connect to the
work LAN, and restart Evolution, it has forgotten the password and I
have to give it again. This time there is just one dialog box, but it
loses focus when the Evolution main window opens, doesn't show up in the
ALT-TAB list, and have to be selected with the mouse.
(also if I don't restart Evolution, but attempt to give the password in
the three dialog boxes, after a connection is up, Evolution manages to
lock me out from the Windows Domain, and I have to phone IT support to
have them unlock it. This may not stricktly be evolution's fault, but
it's annoying nevertheless)
** Affects: evolution-exchange (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
