Yeah, sorry. Ok details (as best I know them, im a noob) Mandrake 9.2 Gnome 2.4 Evo 1.4.5 Connector, well the rpm is titled ximian-connector-1.4.5-0.ximian.6.1.i586.rpm
I set the variable as you suggested, but now when I load Evolution I get an error dialog saying Cannot activate component OAFIID GNOME_EVOLUTION_ADDRESSBOOK_SHELLCOMPONENT The error from the system is Unknown CORBA exception id: 'IDL:omg.org/CORBA/INV_OBJREF:1.0' Though I get the feeling its not related to the change I made. "If you add your machine's hostname to the loopback line as an alias, there can be a dramatic speedup." I have the following in the host file, and im assuming that's what you mean. 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 host_name_here Olly -----Original Message----- From: Paul Hands [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 11 March 2004 10:03 To: Oliver Marshall Cc: Evolution list Subject: Re: [Evolution] Sooo many problems with the exchange connector Did you bugzilla your problems? The Ximian folks have been excellent in the past at zapping bugs, but they have to know about them first. What exchange server are you running? Not sure about the memory issue - I've been using connector since it first came out, and it's never had any problems like that - for me, that is, on various flavours of SuSE Linux. Speed problems with things like changing folders have been seen before. I seem to remember that there is an issue with the hosts file. If you add your machine's hostname to the loopback line as an alias, there can be a dramatic speedup. There was another issue about having no blank or comment lines in the hosts file either, but I don't think that's related. As a general comment, you'll get better answers if you post details - OS version, machine specs, Evo/Connector versions, tracebacks (You can set a variable, CAMEL_VERBOSE_DEBUG to 1 in a shell and then run evolution to get more feedback), any other info.

Such as the exchange server not setup to its liking or something? Problems I have include (but not limited to) Massive memory usage. Memory usage (using Gnome Sytem Monitor looking at the Evolution-Exchange-storage process) seems to be about the same as the contents of a folder, so if the folder contains 250mb of emails, the process seems to take that much space. We have some folders with tens of thousands of emails and Evolution just dies viewing these folders Amazingly slow. Flicking between folders takes about 30 mins or more at the moment, and this is viewing folders with 10 emails or 10,000. Emails sent never arrive. Emails sent from evolution using exchange server don't show in the outbox of evolution, nor the sent items in evolution, nor the outbox or sent items of OWA or an outlook client. Most of the test emails never arrive at their destination, but we have received one of them which was received (and also oddly sent according to the sent items folder) about 15hours after the user sent it. Moving between folder triggers Exchange AV runs. Each time a user changes folders, it causes Exchange to scan that folder with the AV package (Symantec Corporate AV 8.6 though we are moving to Trends Corporate soon) resulting in users getting a spate of "Cannot scan email due to encrypted attachment" mails which are common when forcing a scan of a mailbox. This could be related to the amazing slow speed of changing folders. There are more, but my fingers hurt from typing ! :) Olly _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution <http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution> _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
