Re: [Evolution] Connector Upgrade Conflict
No RSVP on this post but also, a new set up updates came out which again try to install but fail on dependency. Should I download manually the conflicting package and force and install?

I tried to explain this more than once... ;) You even can set Forwarding as Attachment as default forwarding action in the Settings. Just for my understanding... Was this changed in 1.5 from 1.4.6. Dunno when exactly the attachment handling changed. But IIRC it where only minor changes, most of the logic still is the same as it was for a couple of versions. I am just a little use to the way Outlook did things and I thought that 1.4.6. use to do it in a format where text forward/replies were inline while attachments always moved with the mail. This is apparently not (no longer) the case. Why is that? I already expressed my opinion about attachment handling... It doesn't make any sense at all to resend attachments when replying -- cause the one you are replying to just sent you the very same attachment. So why would I want to send it back? When forwarding inline/quoted, the origin of attachments simply is not clear. Whereas forwarding as attachment leaves the original mail entirely unaltered and isn't ambiguous about the origin of any attachment. Forwarding as Attachment is the way to go, IMHO. ...guenther This clarified what I needed. It makes sense once it is explained. Hold over thought process from my MS Outlook days.

[Evolution] 1.4.6 to 1.5 Migration Experiance
Just wanted to post my experiances in transition from stable 1.4.6 to 1.5. I had a lot of little issues with SuSe 9.0 and figured I would try jumping to 9.1 before I started complaining. Nothing major but things that make life with Linux less then elegant. During that process I found the OS to be much more stable and user friendly. (On a side note SuSe's network configuration interface is still broken). I loved red-carpet and also needed it to do the Evolution pieces so I used it right away to get things loaded for mail. I figured I would try 1.5 to see how it did. A couple of my notes and comments. 1) Install was great. red-carpet realy helps out that process. 2) Post install it took me only a few minutes to find out how to import all my 1.4.6 mail (copy of my old hard drives /home/'username'/evolution direcotry)into 1.5. evolution-1.5 --force-migrate. This imported all my mail but did not import my mail server settings and preferances. I remember their being a post about this but could not find it. I would recommend their be some kind of migrationn how-to posted. When 1.4.6 to 2.x goes live. Maybe even a wizard from red-carpet? 3) The new interface is very nice. I would like the flexability to shrink the bottom left buttons (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Tasks, Exchange) as I have a lot of mailbxes I need to see open and all the side space I can get is a help when I have to sort emails. 4) Spell checking does not work again. I had this issue with 1.4.6 and it was an issue of needing aspell-en which red-carpet did not install but even once I found my old email on that and installed it, it still does not work. evolution1.5-1.5.91.0.200407250732-0.snap.ximian.9.1 evolution-data-server-0.0.96.0.200407250732-0.snap.ximian.9.1 libjasper-1.700.5-58 aspell-0.50.5-35 aspell-en-0.51.0-285 5) Their seem to still be some emails that show as having attachments that do do not alow me to 'detatch' them. The email size indicates their are attachments. I can forward it on an example if it is of use.

It has worked flawlessly on the stability front. Thanks to all those who spend their days and nights coding and fixing bugs. Your efforts are apreciated and are definatly worth it.

[Evolution] 1.5 Connector Please -IMAP Folder Transfers
I don't mean to be a pest but I have this one kind of important issue with Evolution that caused me great consternation today. My mailbox ran out of space as I forgot to expunge my deleted folder and so I got some messages that I was over my quota. Problem was that once evolution starts it tries to get my backlog of emails and send the ones that did not complete in sending when I closed it out. My only recourse is to move my designs which I archive in email out to my Local Folder so they are removed from my mailbox. In MS Outlook this was not an issue. I had an archive rule which took my folder Designs and all sub folders. If they had not been touched for 60days would automatically move them into my PST file. Issue is that I can not drag-n-drop these folders from my [EMAIL PROTECTED] folder into Local Folders\Archives\Designs. It would be nice to have a script to do it but even manual at this point is better than nothing. I have to re-create each folder and drag each email group for that folder. Questions: 1) Based on emails. 1.5 has this feature but I have to use Connector so I am stuck with 1.4. Is 1.5 in a state I can test Connector? 2) Is it possible to move the folders directly. ie cp ~/evolution. to get the job done or will this muck up something? 3) Are their any plans for any auto-archiver? 4) It would seem that due to Connector having to 'sync' with Echange their would be no possibility to have a filter that moves ALL email into Local Folders then reruns filters to spit out email into user-group folders, trash, spam. Whereby I can go offline and still have my corporate emails. Is this correct? PS: Is their a way that I can have separate signatures based to whom the email is destined. ie. I like having my full info default filled in for most all my corp email but user groups I would like to pull my phone and info (forgot to a couple of times and started getting calls from LUG members:) -- Thanks,, Jeremey Wise ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
[Evolution] Printing Letter vs A4 with KDE SuSE 9.0
After seeing seveal times about printing issues and Evolution I decided
to find a solution to the issue. I worked over the weekend and figured I
would post my notes.
Setup: SuSE 9.0, KDE 3.1, Evolution 1.4, CUPS, HP Jetdirect Print
servers,
Issue: Evolution would only print A4 paper size and though you would
tell KDE that it was to use US Letter Evolution would still default to
A4. This meant that EVERY print would require a manual change of the
paper type to Letter from A4. The result would be that the job would
enter into the buffer of the printer and then disapear.
Cause: The issue (at least in my case) was that the print driver
specific to the print device was defaulting to A4. KDE was passing the
data to CUPS. CUPS was relying on the print driver to format the page
definitions.
Solution:
1) CUPS has changed security settings and so you have to open up rights
to allow the ability change print driver settings. (Per googled
conversation -
http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/2004-Mar/3240.html
2) Open Print Manager ('Menu'-Utilities-Printing). Select your
printer. Select Properties tab. Select the Driver Icon. Click the
Change button. Assuming you have the correct printer selected click

Re: [Evolution] Future of Evolution
My $.02 As part (lurker) on the qMail user list and a Mail admin in my own rite I would have to agree that in today's mail environment bounces are of little value and are more often a qualification for immediate drop. Too much spam.. As example... one of my home domains was online all of two days and it was being spammed various systems out their 'guessing' usernames in an attempt to find another entry for their list. I rsvped to one of them for the fun of it and within days that user id had made it onto dozens of other spam servers who were then sending spam to that user. Turned out it was not such a great idea in that I get more spam on that one user then I do on all my real accounts where the policy is drop it on the floor for all no 'white-list' mail sources.

Also, if a user wants plausible deniability in not being notified of an unpleasant event (say, dinner on Friday with an undesireable acquaintance), a bounce of their original would make it appear that either you no longer hold that e-mail address or that, at a minimum, the server was down preventing delivery.

[Evolution] Final Leap
Ok, I have used evolution for several weeks now as my production system. I just received my new laptop and finished installing SuSE 9.0 on it and have a few questions and looking for direction. 1) SuSE 9.0 has EVO 1.4 support. Is 1.5x worth the jump or a better way to put it.. is it stable enough for a person of reasonable technical savy-ishness? 2) I am finding that many of my emails were saved and archived into offline PO with Outlook 2003 and I will have to boot that up and do some form of import. My thought was to drag them back into a new Archive folder but their are a couple of issues with that. a) I have a 50MB limit on my mailbox and with diagrams and such we are looking at about 350MB. That is a lot of copy-up copy-down. b) To archive them on my laptop for referenced or searching I will need to create the archive folder in my Local Folders mailbox which stores all contents in ~/evolution. It appears that mail storage is in a single file (similar to what Outlook did). What impact will this have on searching based on key words in the subject or body? (aka Outlook was next to impossible to locate historical data or find notes on an old case or issue). c) Is their an import tool from an Outlook Archive? *** Maybe the issue here is that I still do not understand the function and resouce ability of VFolders I have lurked on the list for some time and they apear to be only usefull for building searching / views of emails but can someone point me to VFolder 101 Primer 3) My end goal is to have all inbound email for my Exchange user come in and be moved offline after being sorted. I would aSSume that this would mean moving all email from my [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailbox to my Local Folders mailbox. Would this mean that I create a rule that move * to folder Local Folders\inbox then run rules to sort? Thanks for all who have helped in the migration and the whole process.

[Evolution] Various Details
I have continued my quest to work with Evolution to make it fully functional for my needs. Here are a few issues that I would like to resolve to assist this process. 1) My calendar pop-ups do not contain any details about what the subject is about. I know their was a bit of conversation about this earlier but I did not find any resolution. I am going to migrate to a new laptop in a few weeks, will going to 1.5 be the fix for this? 2) I have poked around and tried to figure out how to set Evolution to us US Letter paper as the default but have not made any progress. This is the only application that defaults to it. 3) In viewing folders and mailboxes is their a way to have all threads display collapsed by default. For the user groups I participate in it makes parsing the head subject or reviewing historical emails much easier. 4) I know this is a likely off topic but I am still looking for a way to integrate Mozilla seamlessly into Evolution. I am trying to get it to open up a new session using the 'default' session and initiate a new tab. 5) Back when I had to use MS Lookout my signature would aways apply and would apply right after my typed message (actually my signature was put in prior to my typing; the curser would always be started above it). I have gotten some complaints back from people that my header info (aka contact info) is missing. Personally I think they can get over it but my manager has told me to see if I can fix it. It is corporate policy to have my signature always attached so If I could force all emails to have it by default that would save me the effort of having to remember to apply it. -- Thanks,.

[Evolution] IMAP Deleting Email
In the job I have I work as a consultant who watches a 'queue' which is an email box. A request for a design or help will come into the Exchange mailbox and I (or any number of other consultants) will review the request then pull it into our personal mailbox to work on it. I just found out that since I moved to Evolution when I go into the mailbox and pull an emial it is removed on my client but all the other consultants see the emial as having been read by me but it is still their. The only way I can remove the emial is to open Outlook and delete the emial. My evolution setup is as follows. As I can only have one exchange account I have it setup for my emial addresss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) but the other mailboxes are setup as IMAP connections.

How do I get Evolution to talk to active directory for email account lookup. I googled around. This is the only major catch for migration from Outlook to Evolution. It is a 'show stopper' though as I can't type worth a darn. Pointing me to documentation is perfectly fine. I googled around and hit only stuff from RH 6.2 erra.

Re: [Evolution] Active Directory
Pardon my being a whiner but doesn't this make Evolution as an Exchange replacement rather broken. I puchased Evolution under the pretense that I could replace all major functionality. Being able to query to whom in corporate the message will be going to is rather critical in nature. Now that I am done ranting: Is it (or has someone) build a local OpenLDAP server and connection from it to AD, then pointed Evolution to the local Open LDAP service for name lookup? Based on my limited RTFM it seems this not only can be done but is the only route to get Linux to speak to AD (ie not just modifications to a client but having to impliment the full server on each host). Input greatly apreaciated.

Re: [Evolution] LDAP Exchange Queries
Horray! Figured it out. What the issue was is that AD does not allow you to view objects that are nested in folders (pardon the technical term). What was happening is that he account was searching and returning results from the higher level without searching the 'subfolders'. Changing the setting Search Scope to SUB alowed it to parse the 'folders' to find all my contacts. I also had the Search Base set too low down the tree. For Example: Settings should be (based on example) Distinguished Name [EMAIL PROTECTED] Search base DC=acme,DC=local Search Scope Sub You will be prompted for your password once. Tell it to remember it:) When you wish to check out users you double click their corresponding 'letter' then wait (searching will a aprear down on the bottom bar. Have fun. Thanks for those who proded me to find the path to enlightment:) On Mon, 2004-05-03 at 16:33, Wise, Jeremey wrote: Ok. I may be makeing some progress here.

I tried variations on changing the Search Base settings to append variations of DC.= or OU,= but that just breaks what little I can view of AD. I then build a W2K server and it has a very flat structure of acme.local with one added user being [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the Users folder (default location for AD accounts) but this is NOT an OU. I tried setting Search Base to be OU=Users,DC=acme,DC=com but the same outcome. Any other thoughts?

Summery: Contact lookups from AD servers does work. You can use Evolution as an Outlook replacement (statement of exchange fredian slip).

Who ever said it was an Exchange replacement? I puchased Evolution under the pretense that I could replace all major functionality. Being able to query to whom in corporate the message will be going to is rather critical in nature. Evolution only speaks the IETF blessed standard protocols. AD is not an IETF protocol, it's a proprietary Microsoft product (it's not a protocol afaik). AD is accessed via the proprietary Exchange protocol (which is not publicly documented and would be a royal pita to reverse engineer). Connector works with Exchange only when Exchange opens up the WebDAV interfaces. Perhaps Connector can talk to your AD, but Evolution certainly cannot.

[Evolution] HTML Links
Still migrating from Windows XP. Still a few glitches. 1)I get a lot of emails where their are urls included. In Evolution their seems to be an issues where I can not click on a link and it opens the url in a web browser. It gives the option to open link in Browser. When I click on it it just sits their. Poked around in menus and in ~/evolution direcory. I want it to use Mozilla by default vs Konqueror but one step at a time. I found this article which seems to touch on the issue but their does not seem to be an equivalency in kde: http://www.granneman.com/webdev/browsers/mozillanetscape/linuxspecific/evolutionlinksopeninmozill.htm 2) I have created a printer for my sysem (HPLJ 4050 on Jetdirect PS) Printer works fine in all other applications BUT evolution. Job is submited and sent to the printer. Printer buffer shows data coming in but then never prints (buffer flushed). If I cut and paste the messages into any other application (Ooo or kwrite) they print fine. I have tried kmail and it works. Any suggestions? I would normaly say KDE or CUPS (in that it gets to the printer then dies, if it wasn't for the consistancy of the error.

[Evolution] LDAP Exchange Queries
Just broke down and purchased Ximian Evolution (on faith that it will do all I need) as I have grown tiard of WINE fun. Trying to get LDAP lookup to work. Corp is Exchange 2000 mixed mode. Structure is [EMAIL PROTECTED] for email with the old account type being [EMAIL PROTECTED] (due to corp change of name). So the server is mailserver.pios.com I referanced that when I did the key import and it pulled the GC server as LDAP.pios.com so I left that. Mail works.. no name lookup so I figured I needed to add an LDAP server. Put in LDAP.pios.com for server with name being CN=wisej,DC=pios,DC=com and it displays several 'support base' options. The username definition must be wrong becuse it keeps prompting for the password. I have tried email as the account type (both old and new emial addresses). I have tried many variations of CN=DC=. to find out what it should be. Any experiance or direction out their? PS: I have alsoe tried variations on the definitions listed when I load Outlook and check my account properties. Such as X400;c=US;p=PIOS;o=EXHANGE;s=Wise;g=Jeremey; etc...
