Title:
Evolution 3.10.4 with EWS plugin: Calendar locks up application
Status in “evolution-data-server” package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in “evolution-ews” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I ran into what appears to be a nasty bug with running the Evolution
email client 3.10.4 downloaded from the Ubuntu 14.04 Software Center
with the Exchange Web Services (EWS) plugin.
After configuring my work Exchange account using EWS, email, contacts,
and calendar reminders appear to be working with no problems. Yet,
when I click on the Calendar button to view my calendar and change to
Month view, Evolution completely locks up. I manually killed all
Evolution-related processes using the system monitor, but re-launching
Evolution takes me back directly to the Calendar, freezing the email
client once again. If I wait long enough (about 15 - 20min) the email
client seems to return back to normal, but will freeze again if I
click Calendar once more. I was able to recreate the issue on a VM as
well. I also verified the issue exists with vanilla Ubuntu Desktop
14.04 and Ubuntu GNOME 14.04. All tests were run and confirmed on
64-bit releases.
I did a little research before posting and found someone had the exact
same problem with Evolution running on Fedora. The original link can
be found here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1075461
The issue appears to be with the evolution-data-server component, and
a patched version of the component evolution-data-server-3.10.4-3 was
released to resolve the issue. I tried looking online for an Ubuntu
compatible version of the patch but have fallen short.
