Hi, you couldn't do that, because a Birthdays Anniversaries calendar is using only local address books.

[Evolution] Exchange password dialog frozen
I can't access Evolution anymore.
When I start a dialog pops up prompting me for the Exchange account password
but the dialog is frozen: neither of the 2 buttons ('Cancel 'OK') is
clickable and the text field isn't editable.
When I booted this morning but there was no Internet access. After I fixed
that Evolution stayed frozen so I closed it and restarted it but then the
dialog started to appear.
I tried:
closing Evolution and restarting;
killing all Evolution-related processes en restarting;
logging out;
rebooting.
None of these made any difference.
How can I fix it?

I just started using Evolution 2.28.1.

Re: [Evolution] attachment.dat
Thanks, but I can open the attachment.dat file in gedit and it's plain html. So that tool wasn't able to extract anything. I can also, and most significantly, read the message when I reply but not in the preview. So how is it that the reply can extract the plain text from the HTML message, but the reading pane cannot? For some reason it appears at though the message body is being turned into the attachment by Evolution. I just received another message in Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 that also displays as attachment.dat which I can also read in a reply. When I view the message source though it is readable HTML, unlike the UTF-8 message which, as I mentioned, is getting binaried. -Original Message- From: Peter N.

Hi,
try to run evolution in offline
$ evolution --offline
and then go online by File-Work online. It's most like trying to tell

Although E was running offline, I still got a dialog but this time however I
could enter the password. It must have been this one that was hidden below
the unresponsive one. Everything's back to normal now.
So it did the trick! Thanks.

Re: [Evolution] attachment.dat
The attachment name is definitely attachment.dat. This seems to be the case when Content-Type: text/html. On the other hand, when Content-Type: multipart/alternative there is an attachment (containing the html portion) named attachment.html, while the text portion is viewable in the reading pane. Which is more or less what I'd expect. In this case, as with the message which was Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1, the HTML portion of the message is readable when viewing source. -Original Message- From: Milan Crha mc...@redhat.com To: evolution-list@gnome.org Subject: Re: [Evolution] attachment.dat Date: Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:50:49 +0100 On Wed, 2009-11-04 at 09:06 -0500, Todd Hicks wrote: I forgot to mention I have the Mail Preferences HTML Messages Plain Text Mode to Only ever show PLAIN.

[Evolution] Multiple folders for Trash, Junk, Sent, Drafts using IMAP
Hey guys, I was looking for a place to get some help about Evolution but I did not find any link on the gnome page (http://projects.gnome.org/evolution/), and I didn't get any answer on the forums I usually use... So I'm trying to explain my problem here! * My configuration : I've set up Evolution 2.28.1 using IMAP, my email provider is Free (myaddr...@free.fr), and the webmail of my provider uses Zimbra. I have not used Evolution for years and this is the first time I'm using IMAP... * My issue : I've multiple folders for Trash, Junk, Sent and Drafts (the duplicates of the last two are under On this computer). * What I want : - I want only one folder for each of the previous listed. Indeed, with only two mail accounts configured in Evolution, I can't even see all my folders (okay not so important!) - I want to be able to access all my emails using my webmail. For now, If I delete an email using evolution, this email doesn't appear anymore on my webmail in any folders, so I lose the advantage of IMAP over POP? * What I think I've understood : The duplicates I mentioned before are virtual folders so they don't really exist. If I delete (or mark as junk) an email, this email is simply marked but not removed (not move to another folder)? But why don't they appear online once they are marked? If an email is marked as Junk on Evolution, should it be the same on the webmail client? * What I've done : I tried to create some filters to automatically move my emails from: - the virtual folder Junk of myaddr...@free.fr to Junk (online folder? with a not so pretty icon) of myaddr...@free.fr - vfolder Sent of On My Computer to Sent of myaddr...@free.fr - vfolder Drafts of On My Computer to Drafts of myaddr...@free.fr and I didn't find the way to do the same for Trash : - vfolder Trash of myaddr...@free.fr to Trash of myaddr...@free.fr Unfortunately, the workaround doesn't work for any of these cases :-( For instance, the filter for Sent is a filter for Outgoing such that the following condition must be met : Source Account is myaddr...@free.fr Well, I hope you have understood my issue. I would love to understand why Evolution adopt this behaviour and not what I expect to be right (again I have never used IMAP before)? Thank you in advance for you answers!

I would love to understand why Evolution adopt this behaviour and not what I expect to be right (again I have never used IMAP before)? Thank you in advance for you answers! From what I know: - there are 2 ways of deleting emails with IMAP: - some MUA use the IMAP /Deleted flag (like Evolution Does) - some MUA move them in a real Trash folder (Zimbra I guess) That's configurable in some webmail MUA (roundcube allows both), so maybe you can configure Zimbra to do it the Evolution way. - the Sent folder is a true folder in both cases, only Evolution defaults to put it locally, not on the IMAP server. You can configure it in your account settings, choose the remote IMAP folder for Sent - ditto for Draft - Junk is a special one, but if I were you I'd disable the spam plugins in Evolution (there are 2 of them, bogofilter and spamassassin), and only rely on Free.fr's spam filtering, which is already quite good.

They can be anywhere you like. Just change the values under Preferences-account-Defaults. * Moving stuff from vfolders to real folders means copying them, so they now take up twice the space they used to. You can only physically remove a message by expunging the folder it's in (this is an IMAP limitation). * Marking messages as Trash is standard IMAP and should be recognized by your webmail client, even if its default method is copy to Trash, mark as Deleted and expunge the folder. Perhaps it doesn't show marked messages by default and you need to change an option. * Marking messages as Junk is much less standardized. I think Evo uses labels for this, but I'm not sure. In any case, it's likely to be different from what your webmail does. poc ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

[Evolution] Strange behaviour
Just installed 2.28,1 and Ubuntu 9.10 - upgrades from 9.04. I am panicked - seeing something I have *never* seen in an email program, Have been getting strange behaviour that is interpreting mouse clicks as move instructions - and it's been moving stuff around without being asked to. Including entire folders. The end point here, and what has me really spooked, is that it managed to completely hide the main Inbox (after putting it elsewhere, and my putting it back, except that it didn't put it at the top level but placed it under the empty Inbox )- but here's the bizarre aspect - You know how the folder list puts a number in bold next to the folder name indicating unread messages? This Inbox-under-Inbox folder is displaying 23 unread messages, but the folder is empty. I have looked at every other folder and subfolder to try to find where the several hundred accumulated inbox messages have gone. No luck. But this bit of showing the unread number by the folder, but with nothing in the folder, has me terrified. And I ain't easily terrified - I've been using email for almost 30 years. I have a lot of messages in that missing folder that I really cannot afford to lose, some of which came in since my weekly backup. Anything before last Thursday I can restore without much difficulty, but I'm worried about those since Thursday. Any ideas?
