Re: [Evolution] Synchronizing with Nokia N95 8GB

In Windows, calendar entries, tasks, appointments, contacts, etc, are automatically synchronized. I would very much like to have the same feature with Evolution in Ubuntu, but I don't know how to go about achieving this. Local sync via USB is most important, but I'd also like to sync via web. Does the N95 have a SyncML client? I suspect that it does. In that case you can synchronize it with a SyncML server on the web, like for example sync.scheduleworld.com, and from there with SyncEvolution [1] with Evolution. That should give you two-way synchronization of calendars, tasks, contacts, and notes. There are other solutions, most notably OpenSync. The main conceptual difference is that OpenSync is limited to local sync, while SyncML requires a server. ScheduleWorld has recently introduced synchronization via Bluetooth [2] (haven't tried it myself). Disclaimer: I'm the author of SyncEvolution. I'm not affiliated with ScheduleWorld, but they provide an excellent service and are the only ones which fully support Evolution calendars, so I can recommend them.

Re: [Evolution] Can Evolution open by default on Calendar instead of Mail?

Actually that's only on older Fedora/RHEL releases, and I've since done away with that. But you could add a launcher to your panel and change its command as Milan suggested (right-click, Properties). Could even change the icon to a calendar if you want. Matthew Barnes Thanks, I will try it. I cannot get calendar reminders to pop up on my screen (they only show a small notification icon in the notification area) so I keep missing appointments. Since no one here or on Ubuntu forums seems to know how to fix this, my workaround is for Evolution to open on the Calendar page when I launch it. This way I can see my upcoming events. If you happen to know how to make my reminders pop up a window on my desktop automatically, I am all ears. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Can-Evolution-open-by-default-on-Calendar-instead-of-Mail--tp18673383p18738467.html Sent from the Gnome Evolution - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

[Evolution] Difficulty using Evolution as a news client
Hi, Apologies for using this scatter-gun approach, but I'm having a slight problem with setting up Evolution which I believe to be specific to Evolution, rather than to my distro (openSuSE 11.0). I'm using Evolution 2.22.1.1 with OpenSuSE 11.0 with no problems on 3 email accounts that I have moved from Windows/Thunderbird. I have set up a news account - to match that on my Windows installation - but I am unable to it because I fail authentication by the server. Specifically the failure information message is presented immediately after I am requested to supply the NNTP password for a specific account. My ISP/news server provider tells me that my NNTP password is that which I use for normal email. I have this password correct because I am able to send and receive normal email on that account The failure message I receive is number 502 - cannot authenticate on server (or very similar wording to this). It must be a configuration error because I am able to access this news server, using the same email account, from Windows/Thunderbird and OpenSuSE/Claws Mail without problem. Neither of these 2 packages ask for an NNTP password. Could somebody suggest some things that I should check?
