Re: [Evolution] EWS and the addressbook

Perhaps there is something I'm doing wrong ... The major problem is that I can't get the Exchange addressbook to be visible to Evolution. I have triple-checked the OAB URL shown by Outlook and I'm sure I've entered it correctly. But any attempt to access the AB gets the message, e-data-server-ui-WARNING **: ENameSelector: Could not load AD: TLS not available, and Evolution's UI shows a red box stating, Unable to open address book This address book cannot be opened. This either means that an incorrect URI was entered, or the server is unreachable. Detailed error message: TLS not available You don't say what version of Evolution you are using here, so this reply will be of limited use. I am running Fedora 16 and its 3.2.2 version, and it is not working well there for a different reason completely: It works a couple of time, but then the address book part of the data server crashes. I am running against Exchange 2007 by the way. I copied my OAB in from Outlook and that fact that it works a few times and then stops 9and the fact that the problem is closed upstream according to the bug report I did on it) tell me only that the address book functionality is not as stable as the rest of the EWS feature yet. To work around all that, I turned off the GAL, and defined an LDAP address book pointing at the active directory domain controller. Evolution 3.3.3 is supposed to fix the issue I am seeing. Yours, being TLS sounds different: I am I believe using TLS successfully. Perhaps you are trying to, and the server is not set to use it? I have also seen a possibly related message when viewing mail (not trying to access the AB), SendMeetingInvitationsOrCancellations attribute is required for Calendar items. The minor problem is that, although my filters clearly specify that one of the actions to take for certain messages is Set Status: Read, the messages remain unread. When I explicitly read a message, it takes about two seconds for the read attribute to change. Then when I view a different folder, the unread attribute returns. When I return to the folder with the message I already read, it initially shows unread, then changes to read after a few seconds. After the second time, the read attribute seems to finally stick. -- Steve Carl steve_c...@bmc.commailto:steve_c...@bmc.com blogs: Adventures in Linux : http://communities.bmc.com/communities/blogs/linux/ Green IT : http://communities.bmc.com/communities/blogs/green-it/ ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
Re: [Evolution] Evolution Caldav - No Password Prompt
I have observed the same thing, and as a cross check installed 2.32.2 of Evolution (Mint 11) and ran it through the same Davmail release (3.9.6), and it worked without issues. I then installed Lightening, and it worked with Davmail (other than an issue around fighting with Outlook about resetting notifications). Finally, I installed Kontact (4.7.3) and it worked with Davmail. Thinking that it is an Evolution 3.2.1 issue at the moment. Email and contacts are fine: it is isolated to the calendar.

I've set up an instance of Davmail running locally and I've configured Evolution's Caldav. The symptom I observer is no calendar after configuration. Looking at the Davmail logs, there is a HTTP 401 Unauthorized. That makes sense because I would have expected Evolution to prompt me for a password which it never did. I'm using Evolution 3.2.1. The IMAP, SMTP and LDAP configuration to connect to Davmail all worked and each type asked me for the password as I expected. Am I doing something wrong? Is password prompting something triggered by the Caldav server, another words, is this a Davmail error/problem? ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
Re: [Evolution] Recovering Data Files after Reinstallation
Evo moved the default file location to ~/.local/share/evolution -Original Message- From: evolution-list-boun...@gnome.org [mailto:evolution-list- boun...@gnome.org] On Behalf Of jo...@nucleussystems.com Sent: Wednesday, June 08, 2011 3:16 PM To: evolution-list@gnome.org Subject: [Evolution] Recovering Data Files after Reinstallation Hello, world! I just upgraded to Ubuntu Natty 11.04. The bummer is, I forgot that Evolution has a backup feature, and I didn't export a backup file. But I did save a backup of my home folder. To get my email, I tried copying ~/.config/evolution and ~/.gconf/apps/evolution to their respective locations. But when I start up Evolution, my email accounts are there (i.e. I can send/receive email), but none of my old emails are there. In a desperate attempt, I created a new temporary user and mounted the backup home folder to the home folder of the test user, and logged in. Evolution wouldn't even acknowledge the files, it just gave me the start-up wizard. How can I get my mail back?
