Once again, Evolution has stopped working for me. It crashes with a null pointer error when I reach the end of a line in mail composition. It freezes when I try to access my calendar (status line says it's trying to open ~/.evolution/tasks/local/system/tasks.ics. I don't have any active tasks!). It's eaten up a substantial part of a gig of drive space with mail metafiles for stuff that's years old.
I can't access any of the information I need from my calendar. I mistakenly relied on the program to store a bunch of professional appointments for the coming weeks and months and now I'll apparently have to re-create a bunch of this stuff from memory and by making a couple dozen phone calls. Bah! Evolution is worse than Microsoft Outlook, and apparently a lot less stable. I tried re-emerging evolution and evolution-data-server with no luck. I'm rebuilding glibc to see if that helps. Are there any programs out there (other than evolution) which will import an evolution calendar and allow one to at least see it? Fortunately, I have my contact database backed up to an LDAP db, and it seems that evolution still works for my contacts, but it's taken to crashing regularly for email, and when composing or replying to email, and I've fallen back to using mutt, which never crashes. Bah! Macs are looking better and better. -- Lindsay Haisley | "Fighting against human | PGP public key FMP Computer Services | creativity is like | available at 512-259-1190 | trying to eradicate | <http://pubkeys.fmp.com> http://www.fmp.com | dandelions" | | (Pamela Jones) | -- [email protected] mailing list
