Re: [Evolution-hackers] Exchange Connector folder tree
1) What *exactly* does the evolution-test-component do ? create_view_fn looks as if there is supposed to be a visual display but I can't see how to get Evolution to call this. When it calls evolution_shell_component_new, it passes the folder_types array and create_view_fn. folder_types tells the shell what kinds of folders this component handles creating views for, and create_view_fn is the function that will be called when the shell needs a view for one of that type of folder. Then, when the shellcomponent emits owner_set, the test component calls setup_custom_storage, which creates a new storage in the folder tree with some folders of type test, and when you click on one of those folders, create_view_fn will be invoked. (Note that Connector does not have any create_view_fn though, since it doesn't create any views of its own. It just creates a storage containing mail, calendar, contact, and task views.) 2) I am assuming that the Exchange connector is set up as a separate storage. How is the creation of an account handled in the setup druid ? I know that the camel provider will register itself by having various provider flags set. Part of Connector is a Camel provider, which gets registered like any other provider and finds its way into the account config dialog that way. The evolution-exchange-storage process reads the configuration database at startup to see if there is an exchange account, and also listens for changes (using bonobo-conf in 1.0/1.2 and gconf in 1.4). -- Dan ___ evolution-hackers maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers

Re: [Evolution-hackers] conduits
This has led me to believe that it's going to involve either (a) writing an appropriate conduit for gnome-pilot (which I'm not sure will handle talking to a Zaurus and haven't had time to research); (b) extend gnome-pilot to work with a Zaurus and then do (a); or (c) write an analog to gnome-pilot which works for the Zaurus.

I have a similar case in GTK 1.2's GtkInvisible widget, which refs and sinks itself on creation - it's reported as a leak, although it's being destroyed in Evo. The code should be unreffing it, not destroying it. Destroy doesn't explicitly unref the widget, it's just that normally destroying a widget will cause its parent to unref it. Since the invisible doesn't have a parent, it still has a refcount of 1 after being destroyed, so it doesn't get finalized, causing the leak. -- Dan ___ evolution-hackers maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers

Re: [Evolution] OT: Calendar format and servers
* what is the difference between iCal and vcalendar formats ? Is there a place I can go to learn more specifics about the formats? Is there a single standard, or if not is there one format that is more popular than the other? vCalendar is an older standard created by an industry consortium. iCalendar is the current IETF standard that is based on it. iCalendar is basically vCalendar 2.0 (and if you look at your Evo calendar.ics file, you'll see that the first line is BEGIN:VCALENDAR and a few lines down is VERSION:2.0.) The basic format is defined by RFC 2445, and RFCs 2446 and 2447 describe the additions for doing email-based scheduling. * any recommendations on a good shared calendaring solution? One of our criteria is the ability for us to access and change the calendar while on the road, which probably means web interface. I'm also pushing strongly for open standards, and am trying to push away from Outbreak/Expunge. Having the calendaring integrated with e-mail and being able to sync with Palm are also important. For a client, I wish I could push Evo, but most of our users are on Windows... The IETF calendaring and scheduling working group is working on a standard called CAP (Calendar Access Protocol), which will be the open standard for calendar servers. But it's not progressing very quickly so there aren't going to be clients and servers that support it any time soon. Until then, there really isn't much in the way of open standards for calendaring. The only calendar server I know of that has Windows, Linux, and web clients is Exchange. If you don't mind making at least the Linux users use the web interface then there are more options. SuSE's email server has a web-based calendar system, as does Sun ONE (formerly iPlanet). I'm not sure about what sort of functionality Steltor and MeetingMaker have. There are also a handful of free web-based systems in various states of completion (phpGroupWare, TUTOS). -- Dan ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

that would implement the same APIs to make Connector do its bidding. But it wouldn't be easy.

Sorry for offtopic question - what do you guys think about Exchange's WebDAV - will one miss a lot of Exchange functionality (not considering email - only tasks/contacts/appointments/etc) if he uses Exchange's WebDAV interface? Basic calendar and contacts functionality is pretty well-documented. (MS seems to have mostly envisioned the WebDAV interface as being for interfacing custom web apps to peoples' Exchange calendars.)

Re: [Evolution] Follow-up flags and labels in mail headers
It's nice to see the label and follow-up flag feature; they are quite useful. Unfortunately the data for those features seems to be stored locally (can someone tell me where?) In the summary for the folder, somewhere under ~/evolution/mail/imap/ -- is there a reason why it couldn't be stored in the mail header on the server if the store is IMAP, say as X-Evolution-Label or X-Evolution-Followup fields? Well, you can't modify the message on the server, so you'd have to delete the original and post a new one. (Which, FTR, is exactly what Outlook does if you flag a message in an IMAP folder.) The right long-term answer is to use IMAP annotations, which are basically designed exactly for this. Problem is, no servers support them yet. :) Another possibility would be to try to use flags. Theoretically, servers should let you add arbitrary flags to messages, so you could flag a message with x-evolution-flag=Rm9sbG93dXA= (that's base64 since you can't have spaces and some punctuation in a flag name). But I wouldn't be surprised if some servers didn't like that (and some, like Courier, don't let you use custom flags at all). Evolution has all these great features and I find that I just can't use them because of the way I work. (Separate installs at home, at work, and on my laptop.) It's increasingly obvious that there needs to be some framework to at least sync different copies of Evo. Is anyone working on something like this? If not, I may have a go at it. Not that I know of. It would be nice to separate out some of the palm syncing code into a generic syncing framework and then have the palm sync and the evo-evo sync (and the T68i sync!) use that. There are also some changes that would need to be made to the syncing architecture: right now the backends only allow for a single sync destination and if you tried to have another one, then changes would get randomly split between them... -- Dan ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

In theory, yes, but as you've noticed, it often ends up meaning Never, as people fail to take into account the difference between bugs that were marked Future before 1.0 and bugs that were marked Future after 1.0. 2. Is it ok for us lowly user-testers to set the milestone field (eg, in cases like the above)? Only if you're planning to write the code. If you think a bug has been mistakenly lost, a better thing to do would be to just add a comment to it, which will result in the maintainers getting mail about it, thereby calling it to their attention. -- Dan ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
Re: [Evolution] Filtering incomming messages with IMAP mailbox
I've switched to from POP to IMAP over the past day, and the one difference that is really annoying that I haven't been able to figure out so far is when I get new mail, it all goes to the INBOX, and only after I click on the INBOX does all the mail get sorted based on my filters. That's because that is where your SERVER delivers the mail. In IMAP land, you are only able to ever have a single folder open at a time and so we cannot filter INBOX when you are reading MyOtherFolder. Nah. The current behavior is gratuitously annoying: you see INBOX (3) in the folder tree or shortcut bar, and then you have to click on INBOX and it moves the messages. If Evo knows you have three messages in your inbox, it should filter them right away. There's a bug filed about this already. -- Dan ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

Re: [Evolution] Evolution not recognizing /etc/aliases file
Evolution version 1.0.3 (came with RH 7.2, I think) does not seem to ackowledge the sendmail /etc/aliases file. I have access to 1.0.5 at my house, but I have not verified if the problem exists there as well. Yes, evolution does not read your /etc/aliases, just like it doesn't read your inetd.conf or XF86config. I'm not sure what you're expecting it to do...? If you just need to be able to send mail to aliases defined there, then configure your account to use sendmail rather than SMTP to send mail, and it will just work. If you want to make the composer autocomplete addresses out of /etc/aliases, then no, there's no way to make it do that currently. It would be possible to write a backend that would do that though. -- Dan ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

Hence the need to have OWA activated (I was wondering about that requirement). Are there any functionality limitations because of this?

It works just fine in KMail. When talking to Mutt? Mozilla? Outlook? Pine? Eudora? If so then we should fix it, if not, then that was NotZed's point. Last I heard Mozilla and Outlook used different headers for things like this. Outlook sets three different headers (two of which are for backward compatibility with old MS products). There is a proposed-standard header Importance which was defined for use in mapping X.400 (RFC2156) and voicemail (RFC2421) messages to RFC822 syntax, which Outlook also sets and recognizes, and that's probably the one that KMail and other things use as well. -- Dan ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

Re: [Evolution-hackers] Configurable Reply Attribution UI?

It might be nice to have evo translate it when *displaying* messages (so that this message would show up with Odp: at the beginning of the subject when you look at it, but not when I look at it), but I suspect that even then, the string would sometimes end up escaping into the wild.

[Evolution-hackers] Re: charset foo
[moving from evolution-patches to evolution-hackers] Giving the user a choice could work. We can't *just* autodetect based on the UTF8. In a string like The character for the word 'one' is U+4E00, the last character could be Japanese, Simplified Chinese, or Traditional Chinese (or even Korean sometimes?). Is there any way for the composer to know whether the user is using a Japanese or Chinese input method? (And are there separate traditional and simplified chinese input methods?) And what about cut+paste? If you paste characters from a Big5 web page, does the composer know that or does it only get UTF8? -- Dan On Wed, 2002-05-01 at 21:28, Not Zed wrote: Yes we need this code, as we needed it when it was written. If nothing else, we could potentially use it to offer the user a choice (as emacs does), or use it to determine if the users locale charset is a valid option, or even for things like autodetecting unknown data (using locale as a hint). The code is priority based at least. So you just order the super-meta charsets last, so they wont be chosen for normal text, and maybe even special case them based on locale so utf8 is usually preffered.

They seem to only be common in the US for example. Korean users tend to prefer euc-kr over iso-2022-kr. Do the character sets actually contain vastly different data? Will Shift-JIS, euc-jp, or iso-2022-kr ever get chosen? For that matter, will the Chinese charsets ever get autodetected or will it always use the Japanese ones instead (at least for messages containing only reasonably common characters)? Also, does this patch address the issue that a message containing both Greek and Russian *can* be encoded in iso-2022, but *should* be encoded in UTF8? What problem exactly is this supposed to be solving? If you want to autodetect Asian charsets for people who aren't replying to an Asian-language message and don't have an Asian locale, I don't think this will work. Heuristics that might work are if it contains Korean characters (which are all in a certain range in Unicode), try EUC-KR, if it contains Japanese hiragana/katakana (likewise), try iso-2022-jp, and if it contains unihan characters but not kana, it's probably Chinese. I don't think you can autoselect between traditional and simplified Chinese charsets based on a UTF8 input stream though. -- Dan ___ Evolution-patches maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution-patches ___ evolution-hackers maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers

Re: [Evolution-hackers] Publish Free/Busy
Additional support for this feature later on could go in the other tab of the calendar options. Having the calendar automatically posted after changes to the calendar.(this was a quick request by Christian Borup on irc #evolution) yeah, that sounds a good idea. For this, it's also very easy. Just connect to the obj_removed and obj_updated signals in the CalClient class, and whenever your callbacks are called, there's a change in the calendar. In fact, this could be a daemon (like the alarm-notify) which listens to changes in *any* calendar folder used by the user, and whenever a change occurs, it re-generates the F/B info for that user. And as mentioned in http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16567, this would let it be written/released separately from Evolution itself (although that would probably require fixing up evolution to install the necessary libraries). -- Dan ___ evolution-hackers maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers

There was a problem that messages composed in rich text mode in Outlook and then auto-converted to HTML by Exchange would show up without the attachments in Evolution (because Evolution was displaying what the message *said* to display instead of what it *meant* to be displayed).

We don't allow specifying any criteria for how folders should be synced up (e.g. whether to sync all the messages, or only the messages that are unread, or whatever). And you forgot to mention the Clever Hack for this, which is that the mailer needs to claim that vfolders are syncable, and then you create a vfolder that selects the kinds of messages you want to sync, and tell the shell to sync only that folder.

If you aren't using Connector, you can use a kludge that was tossed into Evo 1.0 at the last minute for it. Quit evolution, run killev, and open ~/evolution/config.xmldb.

Re: [Evolution] How to access IMAP folders not starting with INBOX?
But still, what I actually want to do with Evolution is to share calendar files. It doesn't seem to be possible to put a calendar file on the IMAP server :-) And we don't have Microsoft Exchange. I hope it's possible somehow. There is no reason to use IMAP for this. IMAP is optimized for handling email, and if you're not using email, it's not really much better than ftp. For instance, you want to be able to ask the server, tell me everything that's happening today so you can fill in today on the calendar. But since you may have recurring appointments, the server needs to understand the format of the data in your calendar. Since an IMAP server wouldn't, this means that every time you open the calendar, you need to download the entire contents to the client. Hence, no improvement over just ftp'ing your calendar around. And also, the IMAP code is entirely inside evolution-mail, and the calendar has no access to it. So you'd either have to have the mailer pass data back and forth to the calendar, or have the calendar also link against the imap code. And *then* you have to deal with the fact that some IMAP servers won't let you make multiple simultaneous connections. Overall, it's just not a win. -- Dan ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

Re: [Evolution] Compiling evolution CVS HEAD alongside packagedevolution stable-- mini-HOWTO
Solution:
Though it took a lot of work to figure this out initially, I did get
this to work, and it does beautifully. Thanks to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for
some help in debugging this.
That's '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
The basic idea is to leave everything that
is managed by a package manger (ie in /usr) alone, and put all of our
needed libraries and applications for evolution CVS HEAD in /opt/gnome
(or similar).
I think it's less work overall to just not install gal-dev, gtkhtml-dev,
or evolution from packages, and instead build evolution-1-0-branch in
one prefix (say, /opt/evolution-1-0) and HEAD in another
(/opt/evolution). That way you don't need to recompile all of gnome from
the ground up. You only need gal, gtkhtml, and evolution in each tree,
because both of them can use gtk, gnome-libs, etc, from /usr.
Do NOT run the evolution head (in /opt/gnome/bin) and the stable
evolution at the same time. I also recommend not running them as the
same user since evolution head may (will?) break your stable evolution
configuration. You must use the above export statements to run
evolution head as well.
There aren't currently any major config incompatibilities. I run them in
separate prefixes as described above and use these .bashrc functions to
switch between them:
function evo10() {
oaf-slay
rm ~/evolution/config/storage-set-view-expanded*
export GNOME_PATH=/opt/evolution-1-0
export PATH=${PATH/evolution/evolution-1-0}
}
function evohead() {
oaf-slay
export GNOME_PATH=/opt/evolution
export PATH=${PATH/evolution-1-0/evolution}
}
The oaf-slay is because you need oafd to be running with the correct
PATH and GNOME_PATH. The 'rm' in the evo10 command is to fix a problem
where otherwise the folder tree isn't visible when switching back to 1.0
after using HEAD.
