I couldn't get my mouse to work at all on 9.0 so it wasn't just elegance for me :-/Just wanted to post my experiances in transition from stable 1.4.6 to 1.5. I had a lot of little issues with SuSe 9.0 and figured I would try jumping to 9.1 before I started complaining. Nothing major but things that make life with Linux less then elegant.
Well we don't really have a 'migration' path, we only have an 'upgrade' path. i.e. it will upgrade an existing install, but there is no export/import functionality at all.2) Post install it took me only a few minutes to find out how to import all my 1.4.6 mail (copy of my old hard drives /home/'username'/evolution direcotry)into 1.5. "evolution-1.5 --force-migrate". This imported all my mail but did not import my mail server settings and preferances. I remember their being a post about this but could not find it. I would recommend their be some kind of "migrationn how-to" posted. When 1.4.6 to 2.x goes live. Maybe even a wizard from red-carpet?
If you were just upgrading you'd have a fully copy of ~/ which includes ~/.gconf where the settings are stored now.
"me too". I'm not sure why they are the full size toolbar button size but then it doesn't honour the toolbar options for layout (e.g. i use text only).3) The new interface is very nice. I would like the flexability to shrink the bottom left buttons (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Tasks, Exchange) as I have a lot of mailbxes I need to see open and all the side space I can get is a help when I have to sort emails.
I've never seen anything like this, at least as i'm reading it. File a bug and attach it there or forward it directly to me if you don't want the whole world seeing it.5) Their seem to still be some emails that show as having attachments that do do not alow me to 'detatch' them. The email size indicates their are attachments. I can forward it on an example if it is of use. I have not found a pattern to help give direction (pdf in the one case).
It changes from week to week but in the last month or so its become very solid everywhere.5) As for stability (their were some postings about issues with it on 9.1) I have had no issues. It has worked flawlessly on the stability front.
Thanks to all those who spend their days and nights coding and fixing bugs. Your efforts are apreciated and are definatly worth it. I have had quite a few people looking at evolution as an Outlook replacement because of the quality of the product.
Cheers.
