 Hi there.  I've just installed evolution and evolution-ews and have

Hi,
what is the evolution/evolution-ews version, please? You can, in
Evolution, Help-About to find it.

 I'm having problems downloading my messages from the server so I
 wanted to clarify about how the offline mail storage works.

Does it tell you any error, either in UI, or if you run evolution on a
console?

 - In Evolution in preferences -- mail accounts -- edit-- receving
 options there is check box for automatically synchronize remote mail
 locally.  I have two questions about this: (i) does this mean all
 messages received to this exchange account post installation and
 selection of this option will be cached locally;

Correct.

 (ii) does this initiate a full download of all historical messages

It's usually used for newly discovered messages (not necessarily new),
not for old one.

 - I see that one can also right-click on a particular folder's
 preferences and there is an option copy folder content locally for
 offline operation.  Is this the same as the previous option but
 simply on a folder by folder basis?

Correct. Sometimes you do not want to download locally your Archive
folder, then this is for it.

 Even if I try one or both of these options, I can't seem to download
 all of my stored messages from the server.  The download begins and
 then stops after which I have to manually start it again.  Also
 periodically I get a warning notice that messages can't be moved from
 the cache.

What is the exact warning, please? Is there anything on console? You can
see what evolution-ews does and your server responses, if you run
evolution like this:
   $ EWS_DEBUG=2 evolution

 This seems to be confirmed when I look in ~/.cache and compare it to
 the contents of .local/share/evolution/mail/local.  The latter is near
 empty and the former has appx 100mb.

Evolution-ews stores its data into ~/.cache/..., while your local mail,
those in On This Computer/... are in ~/.local/ You might not cope
with these folders at all, those are internal evolution/-ews folders and
files.

Hope it helps,
Milan

[Evolution] English GUI

2012-12-17 Thread Thomas Prost
Hi,

I searched the archive for I remember someone wrote here how to start
ONE TIME with the English GUI. I think it was a command line with
LANG=EN in it, but it was little more ?
Sorry, can't find it. I'm I wrong and it was another list ? Or is - as
usual - the search parameter not the right one ?

Hello,

LC_ALL=en evolution should work.

Re: [Evolution] bus error causing crashes

   using Debian Sid/unstable with Evolution 3.4.4 (but happened since
   3.4.x), wanting to reply to some message, Evolution often crashes due to

  I think that is a euphamism for a segmentation fault.
 
 No, they are different things - a seg fault is when a program attempts
 to access a memory segment it doesn't own and a bus error is when a
 program attempts to access memory beyond the capabilities of the
 machine.  Both are caused by similar things, such as dereferencing
 invalid pointers, but bus errors sometimes point to hardware problems.

A common error resulting in SIGBUS is accessing a memory mapped file
beyond the end of the file but still inside the memory map.

A program of mine often gets this signal (when I have a bug) because I
mmap a full 1 GB in order to reserve that virtual memory for an
expanding file, but the file may be only 550 MB.

The mmap man page documents that.
