You can upgrade Ubuntu without reconfiguring your system:

   http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/upgrade

In this case though because 10.04.4 is so old, a fresh install would
probably be easier (and safer) if you want to go to the latest (16.04).

You don't say which version of Evolution which might be important.

I get the same problem on CentOS 7 with Evolution 3.8.5. Notices sent
from environment monitoring with 3 text attachments cause evolution to 
freeze for ~ 4 minutes.

I tried running with debugging turned on and with strace but didn't
get any more clues.  My current workaround is to filter those messages
to a separate folder and process them in alpine.

[Evolution] EWS Cannot resolve hostname

2015-02-24 Thread Ian Mortimer

Hi

I've configured Evolution to connect to our exchange server with EWS. 
Versions are: 

evolution 3.10.4-0ubuntu1
evolution-ews 3.10.2-0ubuntu2

Everything went smoothly with the configuration - the correct URL was
found - but when I try to authenticate I get this debugging output:

 HTTP/1.1 2 Cannot resolve hostname (exchange.our.domain)
 Soup-Debug-Timestamp: 1424816438
 Soup-Debug: ESoapMessage 0 (0x7fccc800d140)

/etc/resolv.conf has the correct name servers listed and the hostname 
resolves with host, nslookup or dig. Adding the exchange servers 
address to /etc/hosts made no difference. Removing the entry
'mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return]' from /etc/nsswitch.conf also made 
no difference.

The same settings are working fine on Centos 7 with evolution 3.8.5.

Any idea why EWS can't resolve the server hostname on Ubuntu 14.04?


Thanks

[Evolution] Calendar and GAL not working with exchange 2010

2012-07-08 Thread Ian Mortimer
Hi 

With Evolution 3.4.3 mapi connection to Exchange 2010, the 
Exchange Calendar doesn't show and lookups in the Global 
address list fail.

Accessing the calendar gets this error after a long delay:

   Error loading calendar
   Timeout was reached

Accessing the address book gets this error after a delay:

  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. 

A couple of other things:

  firewall is turned off and selinux disabled

  This is a fresh install of Fedora 17 and a new user account
  so no legacy from older versions.

This was all working well last week with Evolution 3.0.3 on 
Fedora 15.

Are there any known problems connecting 3.4.3 to Exchange 2010?


Thanks

Look in the Trash folder.  That's a virtual folder.   You can also
see your deleted messages by going to the View menu and setting
Show Deleted Messages which will then appear with a line through
them in the original folder.

[Evolution] Alert when sending to unqualified addresses.

2010-12-22 Thread Ian Mortimer
Just upgraded to 2.32.1 and so far everything is going well
except that any message to to an unqualified address gets an
alert:

   Are you sure you want to send a message with invalid address?
   The following recipient was not recognized as a valid mail address:

Under Composer Preferences/General/Alerts there are a number of 
useful alerts that can be turned on or off but not this one.

Is there a way to disable this alert.  I can click on Send to have
the mail delivered but I do this a lot and I'd rather not have 
the alert pop up every time.

Another option, I guess, would be to set a default address to be
added automatically to unqualified addresses but I can't see a
way to configure that either.

You can't (not easily anyway).  If you want evolution 2.30.1 you'll have
to upgrade to Fedora 13.  Fedora 10 has been out of support for 5 months
so it would be a good idea to upgrade.

 I have no direct knowledge of this, but I believe Evo tries to be
 consistent and applies the IMAP model across the board. It also does it
 with local (i.e. POP) mail.

The last time I connected Evolution to Exchange was with 2.12.
At that time it followed the Exchange model: deleted messages were
moved to the Deleted Items folder.  

I haven't been able to get 2.22.3.1 to work with our Exchange server
except as an imap client so I can't say if that's still the case.

 The first thing I noticed was that emails that have been deleted are moved to

 possible 
 any more as only the entire folder can be purged.

That's because the Trash folder is a virtual folder not a real folder. 
When you delete a message it's not removed, it's just marked as deleted
and not shown by default.  The Trash virtual folder shows all the
messages which have been marked as deleted.

Messages aren't actually deleted until you Expunge the Trash (which
removes all deleted messages) or Expunge in a folder which removes all
deleted messages in that folder.

You can configure evolution to show messages marked for deletion
by unchecking Hide Deleted Messages in the View menu.

You can configure evolution to Empty Trash folders automatically at
a set interval in Edit/Preferences/Mail Preferences/General/Delete Mail.

What you can't do (as far as I know) is have deleted or expunged mail
moved to a real (not virtual) Trash folder (which would be a nice option
to have).

Seems like it might be.  I've been using Evolution for a long time also
and found it very stable until we moved to Exchange.  Not only does
Evolution crash more often it generates a bug report on just about every
exit (and has a acquired a few other annoying habits like multiple
password prompts).  

The Exchange connector also crashes sometimes so although Evolution is
still running it can't connect to the Exchange server.

A few linux users here have moved from Evolution to thunderbird after
being migrated to Exchange (which is ironic when Evolution is the only
linux client our Exchange service officially support).

Maybe things will improve when Evolution can do MAPI.

 Try using ldap calls to your server to see if you can get the replies

Yes that works.  The exchange admins posted the wrong server address.
With the AD ldap server address it works fine.

[Evolution] Exchange and GAL port

2007-10-24 Thread Ian Mortimer
We're moving to Exchange (sigh).  Everything is working except the GAL
always times out (after a long delay).  Some packet sniffing showed
evolution was sending to port 3268 on the global catalog server but no
replies ever came back.

The reply from the Exchange admins was:

 From what we understand evolution uses the webfrontend to do all it's
 communication to all the traffic should be over port 80.

I believe Evolution does do some of it's communication over webdav but
judging by the packet sniffing results, it's trying to connect to the
global catalog server on port 3268 not port 80.

I did try appending :80 to the server address but that didn't work.

Which port on the catalog server should Evolution be connecting to?
Is there any way to change the port (apart from modifying the source)?
Would changing the port help in any case?


Thanks
